As technologists and entrepreneurs, it’s in our nature to look at our lives and wonder: “Is this as good as it gets? Can it be better? Can technology make this part of our lives simpler?”

We’re Nat and Daniel, co-founders of Trustworthy – a company formed to help your family curate, manage, and securely share information.

The Information of Our Lives

We live in the information age. Our information is important, and #informationoverload is real. Today, we have more information than ever before, and the amount of information is only increasing.

This is a modern problem that didn’t exist for previous generations. People used to have one job, one car, one house, one partner, 2.5 kids, and a pension plan. That’s all they needed. That and a pair of loafers. Life was simple. No 401(k)s, no cryptocurrencies, no emails or texting, and certainly no spam phone calls.

Today, life is a lot more “information-y.” Here are some of the things you and your family have to deal with:

• Jobs have changed. The average person is now expected to have 10 jobs (growing to 12-15) with related benefits packages and retirement accounts.

• The average person will move 11.4 times during their life.

• Family structure has changed. About one-third of Americans have some kind of blended family. Forty-three percent of first marriages end in divorce, and the divorce rates for second and third marriages are even higher.

• Money has changed. The average person now has 5.3 bank accounts.

• Passwords are overwhelming. On average, people have 240 online accounts that need passwords. 

• People are enrolled in 16.6 customer loyalty programs, on average.

• Photos have proliferated. Americans take about 22 photos per day — that’s around 8,000 per year.

We’re surrounded by information, and there’s no armistice in sight. Your important information lives in a lot of different places, and it is increasingly digital. How do you organize this information? The ubiquitous Excel spreadsheet?

Many of the people we've talked to built their own systems to manage their information. Families often use a combination of Excel or Google Sheets, Dropbox, 1Password, Evernote, file systems, photo apps and three-ring binders or notebooks filled with important things. They are the life hackers who want something to help them manage and share their information (and anxiety). Most of them feel their system is lacking and that there must be a better solution. We agree.

Trustworthy: The Family Operating System®

We imagine a world where your information is organized and you have easy access to it whenever you need it. It’s secure and shared with the people you love so that they have it when they need it, too.

Trustworthy reimagines family management as the Family Operating System®, a digital vault that helps modern families curate, manage, and securely share their important information. With Trustworthy, families are delightfully organized and completely prepared for all of life's moments, now and across generations.

How Trustworthy Will Help Your Family

Getting and staying organized can be tough, but Trustworthy makes it fast and simple. Here’s how:

• Trustworthy guides you through a series of simple steps to connect, store, and organize your information. We provide you with recommendations of information to add, automating much of the work for you.

• We use AI technology to make collecting your information easy and automated reminders to keep your information current.

• We make it simple to outsource tasks to your loved ones and the professionals you rely on (accountants, estate planners, wealth advisors, etc.) so they can help you fill in the blanks.

• The Trustworthy experience is beautifully designed, so that your information looks and feels organized and is easy to retrieve when you need it, whether you’re at home or on the go.

• Trustworthy is purpose-built. We don’t just store files – we organize your critical information and provide tips to make sure you are up to date.

Why Trustworthy

We know that earning your trust by keeping your information secure and private is paramount. We have all seen what’s happened in recent times with the widespread sharing, monetization, and abuse of personal data. 

We can do better. This is why security and privacy are the foundations upon which we make every decision. Trustworthy deploys world-class security measures – data encryption, multi-factor authentication, tokenization, threat detection, and biometric authentication – to ensure your family's information remains private and protected.

As a company and as individuals, we promise:

• Your privacy is ensured. Your information is secure and protected at all times. Adopting Trustworthy is a meaningful increase in family information security because we employ leading-edge security measures like robust password recipes, two-factor authentication (including hardware keys), and AES 256-bit encryption.

• You're protected. We’ll never share or sell your information. You and your information are not our business model. We keep your information protected, secure, and available when needed.

• What's yours is yours. You are the sole arbiter of your information. You alone decide whom to share it with and how you want to use it or benefit from it.

Who Should Use Trustworthy

Trustworthy's digital vault is for families that want to organize, easily access, and securely share their important information. Need access to your wife’s Social Security number, your passport number, your car’s vehicle identification number, your child’s birth certificate, or the title deed to your home? 

By storing it on Trustworthy, all your information is available whenever and wherever you need it.

Trustworthy is also a guide for your loved ones in the event something happens to you. We’ve heard many stories from people who were unable to access bank accounts, track down life insurance policies, cancel accounts, or gain access to critical information after the death of a loved one.

Being unable to find and access this information can be a source of significant stress and anxiety for your family. With Trustworthy, they can know what your wishes were and have a plan and instructions to navigate forward.

Trustworthy is a great fit for:

• Anyone who wants to ensure their family will be prepared in case the worst ever happens.

• Families that just want to be a little bit (or a lot) better prepared for everything life may bring their way.

• People whose aging parents are making decisions about what comes next.

• People who are terminally ill and want to put their house in order.

• Newly married couples who want to organize their lives together.

• Parents who want to provide for their children.

• Divorced couples who need to separate their lives.

• First responders and military personnel who face life-threatening circumstances every day.

• Families dealing with natural disasters – wildfires, floods, tornadoes, hurricanes, and more.
