Company Description

Nemu is a category-defining tool on a mission to help millions of families manage and divide heirlooms (the easy way!). Nemu was started when the founder, Sarah, witnessed her Mom struggling to figure out what-to-do-with and how-to-divide her parents' personal items after their passing. During a period of grief, Sarah’s mom had a lot on her plate settling the estate. Figuring out what to do with her parents’ most prized possessions was creating a lot of added stress. It was time intensive and starting to cause her siblings to fight, jeopardizing her parents’ legacy. With 45M families set to inherit $4T worth of heirlooms in the next 25 years, Sarah set out on a mission to build a tool to help simplify the process for her family and countless others, so that they can focus on what matters most during difficult life transitions.
