Our founding story

My name is Ryan, and the inspiration for Untangle is deeply personal. I have three wonderful sisters, and we're the best of friends—our weekly group calls are a highlight of my week. Recently, I stood by as two of my sisters went through incredibly painful and expensive divorces.

Witnessing their struggles, the needless frustration, and the financial strain of spending tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees, all piled on top of immense emotional pain, affected me deeply.

With two decades of experience building technology companies and a strong belief in the power of AI to simplify complex challenges, I knew I could help. I launched Untangle with a clear mission: to make the divorce process more humane, less costly, and far less overwhelming.

My family and I live right here in Essex, Connecticut, and we've built Untangle specifically to help people through divorce in Connecticut. We're not some faceless tech firm operating from across the country—we're your neighbors who understand the unique aspects of Connecticut's divorce process and are committed to making it work for families in our state.
