One unexpected event changes everything.
Most people assume they'll have time.
Time to organize. Time to explain. Time to write everything down.
Unfortunately, life doesn't always give us that chance.
When someone becomes incapacitated, unreachable, or passes away unexpectedly, families are often left searching for answers while they're trying to grieve.
Not because the information didn't exist.
Because nobody knew where it was.
Preparation isn't about expecting the worst.
It's about making the hardest day a little easier.

60 second autoplay demo.
Four parts of one continuity plan.
Vault
Everything important. One secure home.
Store documents, financial information, passwords, policies, digital assets, medical records, and everything your family may need.
Circle
Choose your people.
Add your spouse, children, attorney, executor, financial advisor, or anyone you trust. Every person gets exactly the permissions you choose. Nothing more.
Legacy
Leave more than documents.
Record voice messages, videos, letters, advice, stories, and memories, the things that matter long after you're gone.
Smart Release Protocol
Complete control.
You define exactly when information becomes available. Valden never decides. Nothing is released automatically. Access is granted only after the conditions you create have been fully met.
Built for moments that matter most.
Medical emergency
Your emergency contacts immediately know where to find medical information and insurance.
Unexpected death
Your family doesn't spend months searching through paperwork.
Travel emergency
Important documents remain available even when you're thousands of miles away.
Digital inheritance
Crypto, investments, and online accounts don't disappear forever.
Aging parents
Help your parents organize everything before it's urgently needed.
Business continuity
Partners know exactly where critical documents are stored.
Security isn't a feature. It's the foundation.
Everything inside Valden is protected with modern encryption and strict access controls.
You decide:
- Who can access something.
- What they can see.
- When they can see it.
- Why they can see it.
Valden never sells your data. Never reads your files. Never grants access without your rules.
Why I built Valden
Henrico Legrand, Founder
Building Valden in public
A close family member passed away unexpectedly at just 45 years old.
For months, we searched through drawers, filing cabinets, emails, and old folders trying to find insurance policies, financial documents, crypto accounts, and simple instructions that had never been written down.
The hardest part wasn't finding the paperwork. It was realizing how much uncertainty could have been prevented with better preparation.
Then I underwent spine surgery. As I prepared for the operation, one question kept coming back to me: “If something happened today, would my family know where everything is?” The answer was no.
So I built Valden. Not because people expect something to happen, but because nobody should have to search for a lifetime of important information during one of the hardest moments of their lives.
Families are already preparing.
