About Sunset

We exist to give founders the freedom to find what's next

Sunset was born out of firsthand experience with how painful, expensive, and lonely the shutdown process can be. We built what we wished existed.

Our Story

From the founder

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.
