Acrew Capital's Kolodny led a $20 million Series A in Alix, a startup that uses AI to automate estate processing.

Alix, a startup leveraging AI to automate the estate settlement process, has secured a $20 million Series A investment led by Lauren Kolodny of Acrew Capital. The company aims to simplify the labor-intensive aspects of trust administration, such as document scanning and communication with banks, which are traditionally burdensome and costly. Alixs service is particularly timely as trillions of dollars are expected to transfer to younger generations in the coming decades. The startups fee structure is 1% of an estates value, with costs for smaller estates ranging from $9,000 to $12,000. This investment highlights the growing role of AI in democratizing financial services.
