One app for living heritage. A model that travels.
Aevum is an early-stage company building one app for living heritage in nine categories, from Heritage & Roots and Gastronomy to Religious & Sacred, each with the story behind it.
How does Aevum scale?
Aevum scales because each new city starts from data, not from door-to-door work. Places come from public place data. AI researches and writes the story behind each one. That means opening a city needs little manual work. We do not have to sign up venues before a city goes live. Once claiming opens (coming soon), venues and organisers will claim their listings for free, and automatic document checks will give them a Verified tick. A person will step in only for disputes and appeals. The same app, claim flow and checks are designed to work in every city, so a new city does not need a new process.
Where Aevum is opening
Aevum is opening Malaysian cities first, then expanding across Southeast Asia. Now available in: Ipoh. More cities coming soon. We do not publish dates for future cities.

Questions
What stage is Aevum at?
Aevum is an early-stage company. Claiming a listing is coming soon for venues. The explorer app and a separate app for venues and organisers are coming soon. The exact stage is in the pitch deck.
What problem does Aevum solve?
People who want the real city are still steered to a few crowded spots. Heritage places, food, arts, festivals, sacred places and the people who run them stay hard to find. Cities rarely see anonymous, useful patterns of that movement.
How will Aevum make money?
Aevum plans to earn from three sources. First, the explorer app is free to download, with in-app purchases or subscriptions. Second, services for venues and organisers: claiming a listing is free, and optional paid services may come later. Third, planned data services for cities and partner organisations, using only anonymous, combined data.
Who are the founders?
Yuan-Teng Choke and Steven Tran. Short biographies are on the about page.
What is the expansion roadmap?
Aevum is opening Malaysian cities first, then expanding across Southeast Asia. Now available in: Ipoh. More cities coming soon. We do not publish dates for future cities.
How defensible is Aevum?
The hard part is trust on the ground: venue relationships, checked places, and a city willing to share a pilot. A global map does not collect that by itself.
