Executive Summary

Many people and their loved ones lack a reliable, private way to schedule or deliver posthumous or previously unsent personal messages, leaving intentions unclear and executors or recipients uncertain; digitally engaged adults who care about privacy and legacy planning experience this pain most acutely. The problem includes both technical risk (lost keys, platform access) and trust risk (how do recipients know a message is authentic and actually released on the right trigger). You could build a privacy-first platform that securely escrows encrypted messages, offers configurable triggers (time-based, multi-attestation death verification), integrates with email/SMS/platform APIs, and provides cryptographic delivery receipts and tamper-evident logs. Premium features could include AI-assisted drafting with tone controls and estate-friendly export tools for executors and legal processes. The market looks promising now: estimated TAM of $1.8B (30M potential paying users at $60 ACV), rising digital legacy awareness, and a target market scoring 85/100 on readiness; consumers already pay for privacy-focused services, so conversion economics are reasonable and revenue potential scores 82/100. You can differentiate through verifiable cryptographic guarantees, a transparent multi-party verification model, and a strict privacy-first business model (no content mining), while being candid about challenges—building trust, handling legal/regulatory edge cases, and creating seamless integrations will require careful product design and partnerships.
