You, Only Virtual (YOV)

You, Only Virtual (YOV) is a new AI enterprise developing posthumous communications technology. The pre-revenue company has recently introduced the beta version of its patented digital afterlife system and is actively growing a pipeline for future launch with a waitlist of over 10K potential subscribers.

You, Only Virtual is creating what we believe to be a completely new industry category of grief coping tools using posthumous communication systems. Our patented technology is being developed into an advanced feature suite that allows users to talk, text, video chat, and connect with loved ones even after their passing.

We envision YOV’s total addressable market will eventually encompass the over 6.5B smartphone users worldwide for whom death and loss are a universal experience. Within this market, the company is initially focused on serving 298M U.S. based users – many of whom are millennials with aging parents – at an estimated market value of over $300 Billion annually.*

You, Only Virtual was founded after the company’s CEO was confronted with a near fatal motorcycle accident and his mother’s stage-4 cancer diagnosis. Seeking a way to preserve life’s most important relationships in the event of loss, he assembled a team of leading AI specialists, software engineers, and high level industry advisors to advance existing technology and develop an entirely new digital afterlife concept.
