When Abby Schneiderman' s brother was killed in a head-on collision by an impaired driver, her family was thrust into a position many families experience: they were shocked, heartbroken, and unsure what to do next. While her brother had made some financial arrangements, her family had no idea what he would have wanted and had to make all sorts of stressful (and expensive) decisions in an incredibly short amount of time. Out of this tragedy came the focus of Everplans, a digital company that Abby co-founded with fellow tech entrepreneur Adam Seifer to help people of all ages organize their lives and legacy now-so that their loved ones won' t have to later. Drawing on the wealth of experience from Abby, Adam, and Gene Newman, here is a clearly designed and easy-to-follow program to help even the most disorganized reader take control of modern life' s burgeoning mess of on- and off-line details. Breaking the job down into three levels, from the most urgent (granting access to passwords, outlining a financial blueprint) to the technical (creating a manual for the systems in your home, understanding legal documents) to the nostalgic (assembling a living memory complete with photos, recipes, and significant stories)), IN CASE YOU GET HIT BY A BUS takes the anxiety and stress out of putting your life in order and covers just about any contingency, helping you leave the best parting gift you could ever imagine.
Abby Scheiderman, Everplans Co-Founder and Co-CEO, was previously a Principal at Tipping Point Partners, a NYC start-up incubator, where she was part of the team that launched several businesses, including AppOrchard, an iOS consultancy for the enterprise, and Cookstr, a recipe-driven nutritional technology company. In 2004, she co-founded Haystack Media, one of the first music social networks. Everplans Co-Founder and Co-CEO Adam Seifer was a co-founder of Fotolog, a pioneering international photo-sharing community that encouraged people to share little updates on their lives via images. He was also part of the team that launched sixdegrees. com, the first major online social network and is an inventor on US patent 6175831 ("the social networking patent") currently owned by LinkedIn. Everplans Editorial Director Gene Newman has spent the past 15 years in the digital space including serving as the editor-in-chief/editorial director of Maxim. com, Hachette Filipacchi Digital (including Elle. com, WomansDay. com and Premiere. com) and other entertainment/lifestyle properties.
