Company
Solo
We help people resolve debt.
We make SoloSuit and SoloSettle. SoloSuit helps people respond to debt lawsuits by generating legal documents they can file without lawyers. SoloSettle lets users negotiate with debt collectors to settle their debts directly. Our product targets the $35B debt resolution market by putting legal and settlement tools in the hands of consumers who can't afford traditional legal help.
We are based in Provo, UT, with a remote team. After YC, we would continue operating from Provo and remotely.
Provo has grown into a strong tech hub with great talent and low costs. Remote work lets us tap into developers nationwide. We'll keep this setup after YC - we don't need to be in Silicon Valley to serve our customers or build our product.
