About Kristopher Tan

As a former “Mad Man” turned mission-driven founder, I bring over 19 years of experience leading customer experience, project management, and cross-functional teams in both the agency world and SaaS startups. I’ve built a career delivering results, exceeding revenue goals, and optimizing operations with a data-driven, customer-first mindset.Today, I’m channeling that experience into building End of an Era, an AI-powered platform simplifying estate planning and settlement. Inspired by personal experience, we\'re creating the support system families need during life’s hardest transitions offering clarity, automation, and guidance when it matters most.Outside of work, I’m a proud dad to two awesome kids, Miles and Avery. You’ll also find me biking around the South Sound or perfecting my smoked ribs recipe. I hold a B.S./B.A. in Management Science and Political Science from UC San Diego and an MSc. in International Business and Management from Manchester Business School.

   End Of An Era

   Oct 2024 — Present

   Building End of an Era to reimagine estate succession—making both proactive estate planning and reactive estate settlement simpler, clearer, and far less overwhelming.What began as a deeply personal experience became the foundation for a smarter solution: one that uses automation and intelligent workflows to reduce complexity, ensure compliance, and guide users through every step of the process. We\'re not replacing professionals—we\'re equipping them (and families) with better tools.Our goal is to bring order to the chaos of estate succession, helping people move forward with clarity, confidence, and less stress
