We are building the future
of estate settlement.

Early-stage, venture-backed startup removing friction, confusion, and unnecessary stress from post-death processes.

What we do

We help people navigate one of the most overwhelming moments of their lives: everything that happens after a loved one passes away.

From administrative workflows to coordination with institutions, we’re building a platform that removes friction, confusion, and unnecessary stress from post-death processes.

This is a deeply human problem and a massive, broken system.

How we do it

We combine software engineering, AI-driven automation, and modern product design to replace manual, fragmented, paper-based processes with intelligent workflows and agents that actually get things done.

Stage & Backing
