Why Sunset
Built for founders who are ready to find what's next
End-to-end
One team handles all the legal, tax, and operational aspects. No stitching together lawyers, accountants, and consultants. One team, one fee, fully managed.
Weeks, not months
Don’t let your wind-down drag on for months or years while it consumes your time and attention. Move on faster with the help of experts who’ve done this hundreds of times.
More money back
We maximize what goes back to your investors by monetizing remaining assets, redistributing capital quickly, and keeping operational costs low.
A platform and a team, purpose-built for wind-downs
Sunset combines a purpose-built platform with a dedicated team — attorneys, CPAs, and a Client Success lead assigned to your case. Track progress, share documents, and stay informed, all in one place.
Monetize what's left
We help find the best home for your remaining assets and intellectual property — whether that’s selling, assigning, auctioning, or licensing them to the right buyer.
Return more to your investors
Legal builds your waterfall while our team contacts every investor, collects their wiring details, and executes the full redistribution — end to end.
Every final return, filed on time
Our team handles closing your books, notifying the IRS, franchise taxes, payroll closures, and filing final state and federal tax returns — ensuring full closure and zero remaining liability.
What our customers say
“The decision to work with Sunset was super ROI positive.”
Harris Osserman
CEO/Founder of TalkHiring
“Sunset did a really good job and it was such a smooth process. I think it’s a brilliant product...”
Alison Greenberg
YC Founder, Ruth Health
“Sunset made an intimidating process unbelievably easy. I had one point of contact, minimal prep work, and complete confidence that everything was handled. I’d recommend them to any founder—it’s worth every penny to avoid the stress and complexity of doing this yourself.”
Oliver Friedmann
Founder/CEO of Ziggeo
“Sunset didn’t just handle the logistics—they helped me transition emotionally, too. If you’re ready to move on and need a trusted partner to clear the path, Sunset is the way to go.”
Justin Molineaux
Founder/CEO of Talkbalk
“The reason I could hit the ground running at Zapier was because I wasn’t bogged down worrying about this wind-down... Sunset orchestrated all the moving parts, from paperwork to government filings, without making me sweat the details.”
Phil Lakin
Founder/CEO at NoCodeOps
