Amelia Lin, co-founder and CEO of Saga had an unusually academically-oriented start to life, which has profoundly impacted her life and work. Amelia talks to Sue Stockdale about the role that books and education had as she grew up, how that influenced her desire to record her parents' life stories, and how Saga was created as a result. As as a 7th grader (11-13 years old) Amelia scored a 1550/1600 on the SAT (the standardised test widely used for college admissions in the US), which was the highest in the country at the time out of 55,000 7th graders.

Following her academic studies at Harvard, and a career working in Silicon Valley technology start-ups, big and small, Amelia was inspired to use technology to help her mother and father record their life stories in their own voices, and to make it easy for other families to do the same.
