All The Hacks
Why we exist
Sunset was born from a place of personal experience and pain. We exist to help founders in the same position we were in a few years ago.
Shutting down my company wrecked me.
I went through Y Combinator in 2018.
I had visions of running trillion-dollar startups while surfing into the sunset with Zuck.
Over 4 years, I had built two startups. I sold one but had to shut down the other.
After finally calling it quits, I was burnt out and just wanted a clean break. Instead, what I got was a metric ton of the world’s worst chores. Another email to my lawyers, doc to sign, government to pay, service to cancel, asset to liquidate, tax form to file.
All I wanted was closure…
In the end, the dissolution process took over 7 months and thousands of dollars (not to mention the few thousand I had to pay out of pocket).
I sat with this pain and frustration for a while. At one of the lowest points in my life, this dissolution process kept knocking me down further.
That's why I started this business — I want to help founders in the same position I was in. I want to give founders freedom from the nagging, gnawing, and relentless stress of dissolving a company.
I want to give you the freedom to move on with your life.
