Why now

Increasing complexity of startup financing and equity structures, founders' lack of tax optimization, and the general trend towards abstracting away financial complexity through technology (like Twilio, Stripe).

Market gap

A 'massively underserved' market where founders are 'not optimized at all from a tax perspective' for their specific financial situations.
