Julius Launhardt
Founder, Meolea
Losing someone is never easy, but it should not be made harder by confusion, paperwork, and unanswered questions. Julius built Meolea so families can focus more on memories, love, and each other, and less on bureaucracy and legal documents.
A letter from our founder
Like most people, I have experienced the loss of someone very close to me.
The first time, it was my grandparents when I was still a child. Later, during high school, a close friend of mine lost their life in a train accident. And since becoming a firefighter and paramedic, I have seen loss in many different forms and situations.
One thing that has always felt wrong to me is how the time right after a death is often spent with everything except the person who passed.
When someone dies, we want to remember them. We want to understand what happened and, most importantly, cherish all the amazing memories we had together. And yes, we also feel sad and lonely and even a bit lost. That’s okay, and in my opinion, makes it even clearer how valuable the person was to us.
But instead of having time and space for that, we are forced to fill out papers, sort out legal documents, organize a funeral, clean out their living space, and a dozen more things…often all at once.
And many times, this happens while nobody really knows where anything is, what the person wanted, or who should take care of what.
So in 2025, the idea for Meolea was first born: to help those facing a loss through their most difficult moments in life, no matter whether they need help with legal matters, financial and organizational issues, or grief.
As I was researching and talking to people around me, I started hearing the same responses over and over.:
“I don’t want to burden my family after I’m gone, but I am a bit lost on where to start.“
“I filled out some documents already, is that enough?“
“And above all: I want to tell my story, but I don’t know how…“
So it became obvious that many did in fact try their best to plan their legacy and leave behind instructions…but those either never reached their intended recipients or there was no easy way to do that without incurring large legal and other costs.
And that’s where the other part of Meolea’s foundation came from: to help those who want to plan their legacy, memorial, and answer all those other difficult questions in one place, without the legal jargon and with a clear path.
I hope you find that Meolea gives you exactly this: An easy, secure, and quick way to organize your legacy, memorial, and finances, and make sure it reaches those who matter: Your family, friends, relatives, and all those close to you.
I cannot promise that Meolea will solve everything. No platform can (unfortunately).
But I can promise you three things:
We take you seriously. We listen to your feedback, answer your questions, and work every day on making your Meolea experience even better.
We really care. Meolea was built around a problem my family and I know ourselves. I know how it feels to be overwhelmed, and I know that you may be facing something difficult right now.
And we will not sell out your trust. Your private information is not a product. We will not sell your personal data to marketers, train AI models on it, or build an ad business around your most sensitive moments.
I personally give you my word that Meolea will always be a place where we make the hardest moments in life easier.
If you ever have any questions or concerns, my team and I are here to help.
All the best,
Julius
