Elayne is a benefit solution that empowers employees and their families with estate planning and automated estate closures. Over 75% of today’s workforce will need to plan for or manage a family member’s death in the next decade, a process that takes over 400 hours across 18 months. This administrative burden causes a $100 billion annual drag on US companies due to lost productivity, absenteeism, and attrition. Our platform leverages GenAI and post-pandemic policy changes to automate financial, legal, and administrative tasks. Our AI assistant auto-populates modules based on uploaded materials, identifies gaps in the estate plan, and provides straightforward recommendations. By approaching this problem as an employee benefit, Elayne addresses the 44% increase in attrition and 76% drop in productivity that follows a family member’s death.

Hey everyone, we’re Adria and Graf - cofounders of Elayne 👋
Imagine losing a family member. You're grieving and overwhelmed by tasks like funeral planning, managing bills, insurance, probate, and closing accounts—all while trying to process your emotions and return to work. The last thing you need is 400 hours of estate settlement tasks looming over you for the next 16-20 months, making it challenging to perform at work and nearly impossible to take care of your mental health. We solve this problem for both you and your employer.

Adria (CEO) - Adria is a former private equity investor at Permira and Blackstone and experienced this problem firsthand after losing her mom. Instead of focusing on due diligence at work, she had to spend hours figuring out how to plan a funeral, manage probate, settle bills, and close hundreds of accounts. She left her job within a year of her loss, as many bereaved employees often do.
Graf (CTO) - Graf cut his teeth in fintech working for Truebill (YC W16). There, he led the core web and mobile team, managing the implementation of critical experiences such as subscriptions, transactions, and net worth.
Employee bereavement costs US businesses $100bn each year.
