Your career has a story. It deserves somewhere to live.

Peter Zotto, Founder

I built for 15 years and couldn't prove any of it.

I was fortunate enough to sell my prior company. But after the acquisition was complete, and I began to think about my next project, I realized I had a problem.

I had been building for 15 years, but I couldn't prove I built anything. Neither could the hundred people who built it with me. My best decisions, the ones that actually drove the outcome, never made it into a bullet point. The people who knew what I did scattered to new jobs, new cities, and new lives. The evidence lived in systems I no longer had access to.

That's not just a founder problem. That's everybody's problem.

Think about the best work you've ever done.

Not the title on your resume, but the actual work: the product you shipped that no one thought was possible, or the deal you closed when the team was about to give up. Consider the system you rebuilt from scratch, or the call you made when everyone else was paralyzed.

You know exactly what it was. And so do the handful of people who watched you do it.

But where does that story live?

It's not on LinkedIn, and it's not in your resume. It lives in a Slack thread buried thousands of messages deep, or in an email chain inside an inbox you lost access to the day you left, or in the memory of a manager who just gave their two weeks' notice.

The real story of your career — the work that actually mattered — is scattered, fragile, and quietly disappearing.

There is one thing that still holds up.

A real human being putting their name on a specific claim about your work. Not a skill badge or an endorsement click, but a person with their own reputation on the line saying, "I was there. I watched them do it. Here is what actually happened."

That is the only signal that cannot be faked, and right now, there is no real place built to capture it.

That's what Trove is.

Your career deserves a real home.

You add the work — the decisions, the outcomes, and the judgment calls that actually mattered. The people who were there verify it, and suddenly your story isn't just your word. It becomes a record: something you own, something that travels with you, and something that compounds over time.

It is not a feed, not a content platform, and not a resume builder. It is a destination for the career you actually built, told the way it actually happened, and backed by the people who witnessed it.

You've spent years doing real work. It's time the story of that work had a real home.

Your career is the most valuable thing you'll ever build, and it deserves a record that does it justice.
