Three simple steps to ensure your life's work finds the hands it deserves.
Tell us about the project you started — the dream you had, how far you got, and what it means to you. No project is too humble or too grand.
We match your project with people who share your passion — curious souls ready to learn the skills, understand the vision, and honour your intention.
Meet your successor, share your knowledge, and watch your life's work bloom into something new. Your story doesn't end — it continues.
These are real stories. Real dreams. Patiently waiting for the right person to continue.
I spent twelve years designing a mechanical clock entirely from hand-carved wood. The escapement mechanism is built; the face is painted. Only the chime assembly remains. I need someone with patience and steady hands to finish what I started.
I have written 140 pages about my childhood in Busan — the smells of the market, the sound of my mother singing, the war in the distance. I am running out of time to finish, but these memories deserve to become a real book.
For fifteen years I have been designing a shared garden for our neighbourhood — raised beds, a composting system, a tool library. The plans are drawn. I just need a younger person with energy to see the planting through.
Every number here represents a human life, a story, a dream given a second chance.
Hear from those who trusted UP with the most personal thing they had — their life's work.
I spent forty years building a prototype for a water-purification device I believed could help villages in rural areas. My hands aren't steady enough anymore. When I posted it on UP, a young engineer from Kenya wrote to me. Now she has my blueprints. I cry every time she sends an update.
My grandmother's recipes were locked inside me. I had started a cookbook but never finished — who would want to read it? UP gave me courage. A food writer in Bologna reached out. My nonna's ragù will finally be in print. I feel such peace.
I was a teacher for fifty years, and I wrote a mathematics curriculum I know could change how children learn. Retired, I had no way to share it. Through UP, a school in rural India has started piloting it. This is the best thing that has happened to me in decades.
UP is coming soon. Join our waitlist and be among the first to share your project — or discover a legacy waiting for you.
No spam, ever. Just one email when we launch. Promise.
We'll reach out to as soon as UP is ready. Thank you for believing in this.
