About Lyfeguard
Lyfeguard, incorporated in London in 2021, is driven by a powerful mission: to transform how individuals and families manage their important life information.
The Lyfeguard story began with a personal experience. In 2021, co-founder and CEO, Gary Stewart, experienced the chaotic aftermath of settling the estates of close friends. The emotional toll and logistical challenges of locating scattered documents – wills, insurance policies, financial records – highlighted a critical gap in the market. This experience ignited the creation of Lyfeguard: a solution designed to bring order to life's complexities.
Lyfeguard's innovative platform addresses this challenge by providing a secure, centralised hub where users can store vital information, ranging from financial data powered by Open Finance, to critical end-of-life documents.
