DEATH INDUSTRY
Digital life after death, The redefinition of death.
Gen-Zs are the true digital natives, and as they were born with a smartphone in hand, they will die with it as well. But where there is a problem, there is a solution. Our increasingly digital lifestyle has given rise to a whole new industry — the death tech industry. It deals with digital wills, digital legacies, and analog grief. You’ve likely heard of fintech or health tech, but what about “death tech”? We all know we’re going to pass away at some point, but traditionally the process of preparing a will, organizing funeral plans, buying life insurance, and taking care of other end-of-life tasks have been a largely offline process.Now, a new crop of companies is changing this industry. With $30 trillion expected to change hands from the Boomers to younger generations by 2045, this industry is only expected to grow. Tech With Soul brings to the forefront—companies who are leading the charge.
