AccountVault

Consumer AppFinTech

A service that connects to a user’s cloud accounts (Google, Microsoft, Steam, Apple) and periodically exports all digital assets—emails, photos, purchases, licenses—to an encrypted personal vault of the user’s choice, with an optional deadman’s switch for digital inheritance.

Target Audience

Digitally invested consumers who have spent thousands of dollars on games, movies, and albums across platforms, and who saw the Reddit front-page story about a 25-year Microsoft account evaporated overnight. They currently assume platforms will never fail them, until they do.

Why Now

The Reddit post 'Microsoft Deletes Users 25 Year Old Account With Thousands Spent On Games And His Sons Baby Pictures After It Was Hacked' went viral this week, intersecting with Hacker News discussions about cloud outages and data liability. The emotional shock creates immediate willingness to pay for a preventative backup that users previously ignored.
