Our Story

We're on a mission to change the way the world deals with loss.

Loss has a massive impact on individuals, families, and communities, but most of us are not prepared for the challenges it brings. That’s where Empathy comes in. With human care, supercharged by technology, we offer bereaved families a deeply holistic support system and show up with the administrative, emotional, legal, and financial challenges they face after a loved one passes away.

Founded in 2020 by Ron Gura and Yonatan Bergman, Empathy is the most comprehensive platform of its kind, providing critical support across grief, estate settlement, benefits and probate. Dedicated to assisting families through their toughest times, we've helped millions regain stability by focusing on compassionate care. Loss is very hard — but we’re dedicated to making it a bit less hard, for everyone, every day.

We value transparency, and we always have families’ best interests at heart. We are committed to providing reliable advice and information, and to keeping all private data safe and secure.

Empowering

Families are at the core of everything we do, and giving them the tools they need is our most important job. We help them achieve their goals, providing clarity, managing progress, and recognizing accomplishments.

Unconditional

We are here to serve every single family dealing with loss, without exception. We are committed to serving everyone equally, being attentive to different needs, religious affiliations, cultural traditions and life situations.

Caring

We know how overwhelming life and loss can be. We meet families where they are, offering them practical and emotional support—whatever they need in the moment.

Our Team
We’re a varied group—designers, estate experts, engineers, social workers, and more—all focused on a common goal: to genuinely help families. What makes the experience meaningful for me is the simple fact that we’re reaching real people as they face reality.
