Real users, real feedback
After three months of being heads down, the team shipped our app to TestFlight, and now is collecting feedback and putting the final touches on what we hope will be a pivotal point in consumer culture.

The Aha Moment
December 20th, 2025
Gate 8, AUS Airport
Waiting on a flight, Maren had a thought she couldn't shake. They'd spent six months helping people get rid of things, but didn't that just exacerbate the problem?
Getting rid of stuff faster isn't freedom. It's just a faster loop back to buying more.
What if people saw the stuff they owned like assets... instead of sunk costs?

The Goodbye Bag
August 2025
It worked, kind of
Adios launched in Austin as a decluttering concierge. Fill a Goodbye Bag. Leave it out. The team handled everything else, using AI and computer vision to identify items and get them to the right resale or donation pathway. Dibo joined. Zach came on as an advisor. Fifty bags. Dozens of happy customers.
The service worked. The problem it was solving... didn't.

The Problem
June 1st, 2025
Frustration with excess leads to an idea
During a move, Maren realized how much 'stuff' we all own, and how much of it gets discarded. Closets full of things people forgot they owned. Garages with real value sitting idle. In June 2025, she shifted back into startup mode to explore this problem, bringing on Trent and Dibo.
