The team behind Racine

Two co-founders brought together by a conviction: sharing an inheritance should never break family bonds.

Our story

Racine was born from a simple observation: when the time comes to divide a loved one's belongings, families lack the right tools. Spreadsheets, handwritten lists, and tense meetings leave lasting marks. We built Racine so that this difficult moment can be experienced with serenity, transparency, and fairness.
