Stop managing contacts.
Start nurturing relationships.
Echo is the personalized way to help you stay close — quietly, personalized, and safe
We are rolling out a free private beta soon
Why we built Echo?
We met amazing people through work, travel, and life — and still lost touch more than we wanted to admit
Why current tools just don't work:
Social Media Platforms
Broadcast platforms optimized for likes and visibility, not meaningful 1:1 connection. They are distracting, and designed to monetize your attention—not help you stay connected
Calendars & Reminder Apps
Consume valuable time, and only organize your intentions. The best reminder systems don’t help you with what to say—emotional labor is still on you
Contact Management & CRM tools
high-friction, high-effort tools built for tracking, managing and converting leads—not sustaining real human connection
Why Echo works:
Good relationships start by showing up
Echo
Echo makes nurturing your relationships frictionless by providing subtle, well-times, and personalized messages to connect. We call these echoes, and they are natural, thoughtful, and authentically you
Four simple steps
Sync what matters
Pull in only what's meaningful. Echo frictionlessly connects to the tools you already use
Set your intention
Choose who matters most and how often you want to stay in touch — monthly, quarterly, or just on those big days
Personalize your Echo
Create a personalized message about a memory you both have, a recent event, or an interest you share
Send your echo
Your personalized echo is sent seamlessly and behind the scenes, your contact receives it effortlessly—no app required, and future echoes are already scheduled
Built by People Who Get It
Experienced professionals passionate about authentic human connections
Eric Zielinski
Co-Founder
Hi, I’m Eric. Over the past 13 years, I’ve moved 13 times and lived in 6 different countries. With each move, I left behind people who mattered — friends, mentors, colleagues. I’ve worked as a military pilot, in finance, and in management consulting — careers that demanded everything I had, often leaving little energy or time to stay in touch. And over time, it began to feel like I hadn’t just lost relationships, but entire chapters of my life — because I lost touch with the people I shared them with. Echo is the tool I always wished existed — a quiet way to hold on to the people and memories that make us who we are.

Hi! I'm Chris, and the mission here truly excites me. I've lived and worked across the globe (still dreaming of German Wiesn and Brazilian Pão de Queijo!) and jumped between careers like Meta and Google and the US Army. Through it all, relationships were my anchor. But let's be real—they're hard work. I'm dedicated to making it easier for everyone to nurture meaningful relationships, whether personal or professional, because I believe stronger connections lead to a more vibrant world and more meaningful lives.
