Willing (YC S15) Is Hiring a Head of Growth
But today, planning for death is so expensive and complicated that most people leave a mess behind for the people they love at the worst possible time. It’s a $130B opportunity that is still largely untouched by technology.
Willing is TurboTax for death: One place for you and your family to manage the consequences of passing away. We are an ambitious, humble and resourceful team passionate about making end of life planning easy and affordable for everyone.
Since launching in July 2015, we’ve helped 500,000 families plan for the unexpected. We’ve been named one of the “best and brightest” legal startups by Above the Law, were one of TechCrunch's top demo day picks, and have been featured in The New York Times. We’re modernizing estate planning from the ground up and recently passed a law that makes it possible to create, manage and carry out your wishes entirely online for the first time in history.
We’re a Series A company funded by some of the world’s most respected technology investors, including Y Combinator, Accomplice Ventures, Peter Thiel’s Founders Fund and Ashton Kutcher’s Sound Ventures.
WHO YOU ARE You are an analytical thinker. You understand that success comes from methodically developing, testing and measuring hypotheses.
You have a track record of high academic and professional achievement. You move fast and get things done in about 1/3 of the time most competent people think possible. You are excited about the opportunity to be a part of something big.
You enjoy learning and teaching. You are the kind of person people trust and want to be around. People smile when they see you.
You’re tough. You’re highly disciplined. You’ve got grit. You don’t take no for an answer. You are a little bit of a masochist and are not afraid of hard work.
This is not your first rodeo.
