Find and move money after a death

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built a platform that helps families locate and consolidate bank accounts, retirement accounts, investment accounts, property, and more after a loved one dies. Sunset closes those accounts and moves the money into a Sunset estate account where it can be managed responsibly.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

Our team is distributed without a fixed headquarters, and we would stay remote or flexible after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We prioritize flexibility and remote collaboration since our team is distributed and YC supports remote-first startups now.
