Gitwit, working on a new 19days venture, identified the funeral home industry early on as a target for exploration because it is large, disaggregated, and undergoing significant change; yet, it lags in technology and user experience improvements, and is rife with rent-seeking middlemen.
Our discovery process started with an anecdote from a funeral home owner: The trend of people choosing cremations over burials is on the rise, leading to a decline in funeral home profits.The team was intrigued by the significant shift this industry is facing — and the challenges and opportunities it presents.
Our goal: Identify a problem worth solving. And, if found, develop a solution worth buying.
