The need

What happens to our digital lives when we die?

GoodTrust was founded by former Google and HTC Vive VR executive Rikard Steiber - a visionary Internet entrepreneur with extensive experience successfully launching and growing digital businesses at global companies. After Rikard suffered a personal loss at the start of the pandemic, an idea struck him — do any of us know what happens to our digital stuff when we die?

Rikard conducted a study in the spring of 2020 and discovered that 90% of people have no idea. For him, this was an epiphany. And an opportunity. Particularly as someone who has spent a career in technology and always believed in its power for good. Rikard teamed up with Cleevio to bring this product to life.

The challenge

Start small, dream big — an MVP that kept iterating

Start small, dream big. Starting with the MVP, we scaled this project using rapid iterations and data analysis. We developed an ecosystem for the management of digital heritage assets - the system that integrates with a variety of SaaS services to help a back-office team effectively manage subscribers.

After successfully launching MVP, we established a long-term partnership based on a continuous agile approach. We continually pivot the product based on user feedback and actively contribute to its growth.

From MVP to a $2.3M seed round and a platform for digital legacy

With our MVP solution, GoodTrust closed a $2.3 million seed funding round led by Bling Capital, Synetro Ventures, Azure Capital Partners and Silicon Valley angel investors, including Nikesh Arora, Bobby Lo and Christian Wiklund.

With all hands on deck, we built a digital legacy platform that secures digital assets such as websites, social media accounts, subscriptions and documents after one's passing.

Rikard Steiber, CEO of GoodTrust

We were impressed with their strong delivery, good talent, and value-based pricing. Cleevio delivered the project promptly with quality executions. The team had a structured development process for their design, staging, and production phases. They had bi-weekly sprints and meetings 2-3 times a week.
