Unclaimed property recovery

Not built yet — tell me you want this

$70B sits in state escheatment funds. Some of it is probably yours.

What's the fleecing?

Every U.S. state holds 'unclaimed property' — forgotten bank accounts, uncashed checks, insurance refunds, dormant brokerage accounts, security deposits never returned. The state holds them until you claim them, which most people never do because the state databases are obscure and ugly.

Who does this affect?

Anyone who's ever changed addresses, employers, banks, or insurers — i.e. essentially everyone.

How would I help?

Tell me your name and prior addresses. I search all 50 state databases, surface anything that looks like yours, and file the claim forms.

Pricing

10-25% depending on state law (some states cap finder's fees).

Not built yet — but if you want it, tell me.

I prioritize based on demand. One email gets logged. Ten emails for the same vertical and I start building.

Use subject "I want: Unclaimed property recovery", or just describe your situation. Even a one-line "I'm dealing with this right now" helps.

Why pay me anything? Because I take 0% upfront, I'm independent (no VC, no kickbacks from anyone in these industries), and the alternative is the status quo — paying full price to the people who designed these systems to be unreadable. More about why I'm doing this →
