Founder Story

About the Founder Behind Memento Mori Email

I built this platform after realizing my own family could struggle to locate and manage my digital assets if something happened to me unexpectedly.

Stefan-Iulian Tesoi, founder of Memento Mori Email

Built from lived experience across Romania and Indonesia, focused on online-first assets, and designed for cross-border family realities.

Why Digital Legacy Planning Became Personal

My name is Stefan-Iulian Tesoi. I am a software developer and entrepreneur, commuting between Romania and Indonesia. Most of my assets are digital: bank and investment accounts, crypto, startup exposure through SAFEs (Simple Agreement for Future Equity), online projects, and domains.

During the family reunification visa process for my wife, I spent time in Romania while she was in Indonesia, handling paperwork through the Romanian Embassy in Jakarta. That period made one issue impossible to ignore: if I died suddenly while traveling or working abroad, my family would not know where everything is or how to recover it.

My wife understood the big picture, but not every account-level detail. My mother, brothers, and sister had even less visibility. Without clear instructions, they could face a long legal and administrative process while essential funds and online operations remained inaccessible.

I also run long-term online projects, including an online museum dedicated to Indonesian art and culture. I wanted continuity, not silence. Memento Mori Email started as my answer to that problem.

Cross-border life creates fragmented assets, multiple platforms, and hidden points of failure.

The Trigger

Visa logistics and international separation exposed how fragile undocumented digital estates can be.

The Build

A secure, structured way to pass critical information to trusted people when timing matters most.
