👋 Hey PH! I am Rohit, Founder of Kubera (https://kubera.com). Thank you @kevin for hunting us. First, a bit of a personal story: A couple of years ago, in a random event, I was caught in a rip tide in Costa Rica 🏖️ and had to be rescued. After heading back home, the first thing I did was list all my assets in Google Sheets and share with my wife. The list I put together started to look interesting. The different types of assets & their custodians were not as simple as I thought it to be. It was no longer just real estate, stocks and bonds. Assets like collectibles, precious metals, private investments, crypto, domain names, trademarks, and other digital assets filled up the list. After putting together the sheet, I wanted a bunch of features like automatic updates of values wherever possible and a better way to share with my family 👪. I could share my Google sheet with my wife but I was pretty sure that she would forget about it when it’s time for her to take control. I wanted a sharing feature better suited for this particular task. Something that I can set today that would let my family get access to the critical info, in the future if something happens to me. I called it - “Share, but not yet.”‍ I checked out existing solutions that aggregated bank accounts, credit cards, investments etc; but found them to be clunky, constantly spying & judging. They have features that are not relevant to me. They assumed I was looking for budgeting. During this time I reached out to my ex-colleagues @manojmarathayil and @ooomz. It turned out that they also maintained a similar spreadsheet. A lot of people we then spoke to either did nothing or listed everything in a spreadsheet just like us. It looked like an itch we all wanted to scratch and something that will be extremely useful for others. So we rolled up our sleeves and started building something and called it Kubera - the lord of wealth :) We built Kubera to achieve the following: ➡ List your assets, traditional and non-traditional, in a simple spreadsheet form. ➡ Fetch current asset values automatically whenever possible. ➡ Support for multiple currencies and crypto (https://www.kubera.com/blog/port...). ➡ A document vault to store important documents. ➡ Ensure safe transfer of the critical info to your beneficiary, if something happens to you. ➡ Most importantly Kubera has no ads. It does not spy on you or sell your data. Just a clean subscription model. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

That 1-year trial is more generous than I had expected. Going to try this and share my impression.

I read the article in techcrunch and I really liked the idea.

Hi @rohitkubera , I've been using IndWealth for tracking assets for a while. It doesn't track bitcoin, physical assets but does the rest well. Moreover, it's free and runs no ads either. Would you please do a quick value/feature comparison to help us understand if Kubera is a better alternative?
Umesh Gopinath
@rohitkubera @arun_pattnaik Hi Arun, what we understood after using IndWealth is that they are an online investment algo/personal advisor/broker company with a nice tool to track the investments you do there. If you enter everything and pay them, they will tell tell you what more to do. Like you said, IndWealth does not deal with assets that they dont help you invest in. I can't say if Kubera is better than IndWealth. You probably need them to do your investments. Kubera is a light weight tool to aggregate all your scattered investments, assets, debts, related documents etc in one place and track them in one place. You may actually have your money and investments in Banks, Zerodha, Indwealth etc.

@arun_pattnaik I'm curious, does IndWealth support multiple currencies at the same time?
Umesh Gopinath
@arun_pattnaik @shayonpal I don't think so. It's purely an Indian investment advisor service. We made Kubera for people like us :-)
Arun Pattnaik
@shayonpal It doesn't. I don't have a usecase for it. I just use it to track my investments (NSE/NASDAQ stocks, MFs, GSecs, PPF & some RE).
Shayon Pal
@arun_pattnaik @ooomz hahaha! Gotcha! 👍🏼
Praval Singh
Congrats Umesh and team. All the best!
Ilya Koshelev
Like the design and idea. Have a good luck guys!
Lukas Foisy
Great work guys! Just curious, does encryption happen client-side with a password-derived key to ensure the data is unusable should there be an issue with Kubera's server/DBs?
Umesh Gopinath
@lukasfoisy No. Encryption happens server-side at rest and transit. Please see https://www.kubera.com/security
