2017. palo alto. what if...?

Garage Stories was founded by Marta Ordeig in 2017 in a hacker house in Palo Alto called Startup Embassy.

 

“I moved to Silicon Valley looking for a more experimental and future-oriented creative environment. What struck me most was not just the technology, but the mindset — the radical collaboration, the ambition, and the determination to pursue ideas that sounded unrealistic everywhere else. Being immersed in that world changed how I thought about creativity, risk, and what was possible.” — Marta Ordeig, Founder & CEO

Garage Stories was born from that moment, with the ambition to build an innovation lab where Hollywood meets Silicon Valley — a space where storytelling, technology, and experimentation could converge to explore new ideas and new futures.

After an early series of successful projects, methodology became the north star of Garage Stories. The focus shifted from individual productions to building a structured, repeatable way to explore the future, develop human innovation capacity, and create opportunities for meaningful impact.

Today, Garage Stories works with brands and institutions across the globe, designing future-driven experiences, innovation programs, and strategic storytelling initiatives that help organizations navigate uncertainty and move society forward.
