Turning Loss Into Innovation | Kim Goins Builds a Platform for Family Legacy

After the loss of her grandmother, Kim Goins saw firsthand how disruptive major life events can be for families and how difficult it can be to navigate legacy planning in the midst of grief.

That experience inspired her to begin building KIMTO, a platform designed to help families organize their health, wealth, and values into a single legacy operating system and better prepare future generations.

In this episode of the Nebraska Tech Collaborative TEN Podcast, Shonna Dorsey talks with Kim about the personal experience that led her into the startup world and how she began building the platform using AI tools despite not having a technical background. Kim recently received the LaunchLNK grant to support the continued development of KIMTO.

In this conversation, we discuss:

• The personal experience that inspired KIMTO
• How AI is lowering the barriers for new founders
• Why legacy planning goes beyond wills and trusts
• The connection between family health history and financial stability
• How preserving family businesses can strengthen local economies
