About Kaira

A note from the founder, and what we do.

Kaira is being built for families who need practical help in the hardest weeks, and for people who want to make the years before a little easier for the people they love.

From the founder

Why we are building Kaira

My name is Adé, co-founding Kaira, and I started building Kaira at Harvard Business School.

When my grandmum passed away, I saw how utterly distraught my parents and family were. She had held us together after my grandfather passed away. It was hard to grieve. The family was all over the world, and we had to find a way to manage the admin, coordinate, and celebrate her life in a befitting way.

I saw my parents struggle through long nights and early days, joining calls, staying on the phone with service providers, or just breaking down as they cleared her room.

I am building Kaira to help families in this moment, where nothing makes sense but life is going on as they grieve. I dedicated my time at Harvard to solving this and would be honoured to help you through this process.

What Kaira does

The practical work, while you focus on people.

Kaira helps families with the calls, the documents, the accounts, and the family coordination that follow a death. We close bank accounts, file insurance claims, find funeral homes and attorneys, and follow up with institutions until things are done.

For people preparing in advance, we help record wishes, organize accounts and documents, draft letters to be delivered later, and find the gaps in your current plan so the people you love are not left guessing.

You can hand us as much or as little of it as you want. We work alongside you, with your name on it.
