Our take
Grieving for a loved one is one of the most challenging things many people have to do in their life. Amongst the emotional strains of loss, losing someone often comes with an extreme amount of financial, legal and administrative responsibility. Empathy is a platform offering holistic support to families navigating the complexities of loss.
Founded in 2020, the platform and mobile app blends human care with innovative technology to address the multifaceted challenges of grief, estate settlement, benefits and probate. What sets Empathy apart is this comprehensive approach, providing personalised guidance, emotional grief resources, and practical tools through partnerships with employers and life insurers.
A recent round of funding underscores the company’s growing impact, with support from prominent investors and industry leaders. Empathy's success lies in its ability to fill a critical gap in traditional support systems, offering compassionate care that goes beyond financial assistance, and providing invaluable support during life's most difficult moments.
