Testament

About the offering

Testament is an early-stage technology company headquartered in Las Vegas, NV, raising funds via a Regulation CF equity offering on StartEngine at $1.50 per share of Non-Voting Common Stock, with a pre-money valuation of $31.68M and a funding goal between $20K and $5M. The company is currently in the product development stage — no live product exists yet; all app imagery shown is computer-generated rendering. Core Concept: Testament is building an AI-powered, subscription-based digital platform designed to help individuals and families capture, organize, and privately preserve their faith journey — including prayers, reflections, sermons, voice notes, images, and meaningful personal moments — into a centralized archive the company calls a 'Living Testament.' The platform is positioned as an alternative to social media, emphasizing privacy, depth, intergenerational continuity, and long-term spiritual formation rather than engagement metrics or content consumption. Market Positioning: The company targets the U.S. faith-driven consumer market, which it estimates at $437B with $1.2T+ in annual buying power. Testament frames itself as addressing a structural gap: while faith-based apps and media are common, few are designed specifically for long-term personal spiritual archiving and legacy preservation. Leadership: Founder and CEO Christian Stephen is an award-winning journalist and filmmaker with a background in conflict reporting (Aleppo, Mosul, Baghdad), VR filmmaking (Welcome to Aleppo, first VR film shot inside an active war zone; Livingston Award nomination), and faith-based media (son of GOD TV's founders). His film The Sun Ladies premiered at Sundance and Cannes and won the 2019 Lumiere Award. COO and co-founder Gregg Stewart brings 20+ years in global media and tech, including senior roles at AOL and digital transformation work for National Geographic Society, Corporation for Public Broadcasting, and Telegraph Media Group. CFO Carrie Mierkey is a CPA with 15+ years in financial strategy, including helping enCore Energy Corp. achieve NYSE listing; she holds a Harvard Business School Strategic CFO credential. Traction: The company reports no revenue and no launched product. Traction to date consists of team assembly, user research, and advisory network development. The company notes investments from professional athletes and coaches across the NFL, MLB, and NCAA, which it cites as a source of institutional credibility. Business Model (Planned): Subscription-based, with a Personal tier and a Family tier (up to six accounts). Specific pricing has not been disclosed in the offering materials. Investment Incentives: Bonus shares are offered based on investment size (5%–25%), timing (early bird and flash perks), prior investor loyalty (10%), and StartEngine Venture Club membership (10%). Non-equity perks range from branded merchandise and platform badges at the $1,000 level to a Founder's Dinner, Lifetime Family Subscription, and a curated legacy onboarding session at the $50,000 level. Use of Proceeds: Funds are intended for product development, platform refinement, and early go-to-market efforts. The offering memorandum flags potential irregular use of proceeds including vendor payments to related parties and travel and entertainment expenses over $10,000. Key Risks: Pre-revenue, pre-product, early-stage company; speculative and illiquid investment with possible total loss; product concept has not been validated with a live market; platform imagery is entirely illustrative; no disclosed partnerships, distribution agreements, or signed subscribers.
