Sen. Tim Scott Honors Heirloom’s Fast-Growing Neurodiverse Workforce
As Autism Awareness Month draws to a close, U.S. Senator Tim Scott is shining a national spotlight on a fast-growing South Carolina technology company that is proving how business success and human dignity can go hand-in-hand.
“During Autism Awareness Month, I’m proud to celebrate local businesses like Heirloom Cloud Corporation who are committed to hiring, training, and empowering individuals with autism!” Senator Scott shared in a social media reel, praising Heirloom for its innovative approach to inclusive employment.
Founded by retired Navy officer Geoff Weber, Heirloom Cloud Corporation has emerged as a national leader in the digital preservation industry—rescuing priceless memories trapped on aging media formats like VHS tapes, film reels, photo albums, and obsolete digital storage. But behind its technological success lies a deeper mission: creating meaningful, dignified work for neurodiverse individuals who are often overlooked in today’s labor market.
A Model of Redemptive Business
Heirloom’s growth story is remarkable not only for its rapid revenue expansion, but for how it embodies the principles of redemptive entrepreneurship. Rather than simply accommodating neurodiverse employees, Heirloom intentionally designs its workflows to leverage the unique talents that many autistic individuals bring to detail-oriented, highly structured, and mission-driven tasks.
From meticulous photo scanning to complex digital file organization, Heirloom’s neurodiverse team plays a pivotal role in delivering industry-leading quality for customers entrusted with their most cherished family memories.
“Every box we receive isn’t just media—it’s a lifetime of love, joy, and history that deserves to be preserved with excellence,” says Weber. “Our employees aren’t just doing a job; they’re carrying a sacred responsibility. And our neurodiverse team members excel in that mission every single day.”
Growth Rooted in Purpose
Since launching, Heirloom has grown far beyond its Charleston roots, attracting both individual customers and institutional partners nationwide. With scalable cloud technology, strong customer satisfaction, and a distinctive, mission-first workforce model, the company has drawn attention from investors who value not only financial returns, but also measurable social impact.
This blend of rapid growth and authentic purpose is precisely what Senator Scott sought to highlight during Autism Awareness Month—a living example of what he often calls “the dignity in work.”
In a cultural moment where businesses are increasingly measured by both their profitability and their impact on people, Heirloom is offering a compelling blueprint for how faith-inspired values can thrive in modern entrepreneurship. As Weber explains, “I believe every person is made in the image of God—with gifts, purpose, and infinite worth. That belief shapes every hiring decision I make, and every product we seek to deliver.”
Attracting Mission-Driven Investors
Social impact investors—particularly those driven by Christian values—are increasingly drawn to companies like Heirloom that demonstrate how scalable business models can create lasting value for both shareholders and society. With Senator Scott’s public endorsement, Heirloom’s story now serves as a beacon for a new generation of investors seeking to deploy capital toward companies that uplift human dignity.
As Heirloom continues its nationwide expansion, one thing remains constant: people are at the center of everything it does. In preserving precious memories for families across America, Heirloom is quietly preserving something far greater—a renewed vision of work that restores dignity, purpose, and hope.
