Project Proposal: Visualising Plots – Storytelling Tool
Beemgee GmbH

2. Page 2 | Project Factory Creative Industries
Humans are storytelling animals
• Stories are a vital part of our cultural heritage
• All media rely on a constant supply of new stories
Hardly any software exists that separates form from content
Beemgee provides the first browser-based software that:
1. Helps authors develop plots and characters
2. Helps media companies evaluate, collaboratively work on, sell
and adapt material (stories) across media and cultures
We plan to adapt our tool to other contexts: non-fiction, journalism,
exhibition planning, business storytelling.

We are looking for partners from the following sectors:
• Cultural studies and literature faculties, etc.
• Media: Film & TV, publishing, narrative games, etc.
• Culture: theatre, audio storytelling, etc.
As a media-oriented business, our product is adaptable to:
• The preservation of Europe’s cultural heritage, eg. in the form of
a systematized database of Europe’s story structures in a
context, eg., of comparative cultural studies
• The treatment of depression, anxiety, stress, etc. in the context,
eg., of behavioral therapy

Beemgee has the power to be disruptive in the media industry
because our software digitalizes previously analog processes, such
as the evaluation and adaption of stories.
Beemgee may revolutionize how stories are created and traded in
the international media market.
Our software is accessible (freemium) and so easy to use that
people who have hitherto been overwhelmed by the idea of creating
an entire story will now be able to. This democratizes a creative
process. Now everybody can be a storyteller.
Beemgee has potential to help preserve our cultural heritage.
