Ce que fait Elayne

Elayne is building the modern estate settlement platform. Estate settlement is a $250B+ annual market, with $80T+ in assets expected to transfer over the next 25 years. But after a death, families and executors have to spend 400+ hours manually identifying, organize, and distribute everything that was left behind like: financial accounts, debts, property, insurance, legal documents, incorporating juristidi ation requirements and family context. Elayne is the first platform to surface verified assets and debts for precisely this moment, then turing our discovery into a clear inheritance map. We work directly with families and executors, and with the partners who support them: funeral homes, hospice and aftercare providers, attorneys, and financial institutions. The company was founded by Adria, a former large-cap investor who experienced the problem firsthand, and Rebecca, a repeat fintech and mental health founder who left her master’s program in psychology at Harvard to launch Elayne. Together, they bring financial rigor, technical execution, and lived empathy to a massive but deeply human category. Backed by Y Combinator and Accel, we are now an 8-person team based in NYC.

Estate settlement, from verified discovery to distribution

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

We are building the modern estate settlement platform that surfaces verified assets and debts after a death, then turns that discovery into a clear inheritance map. Our product helps families, executors, and their partners identify, organize, and distribute financial accounts, property, debts, insurance, and legal documents while accounting for jurisdiction and family context.

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

We live in New York, NY, and the company is based there and will remain after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We are based in New York because of proximity to financial institutions, legal professionals, and our initial users and partners, which fits the nature of estate settlement.
