Upsolve is a nonprofit online web application that enables low-income Americans to file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy on their own. [1] [2] [3] [4]
Upsolve received seed funding from Y Combinator, [5] the Legal Services Corporation, the Robin Hood Foundation, Harvard University, and former Google CEO Eric Schmidt. [6] [7] [8]
Upsolve was inspired by the Financial Distress Research Project, launched by Professors Jim Greiner ( Harvard Law School), Dalié Jiménez ( University of California, Irvine School of Law), and Lois Lupica ( University of Maine Law School) to study the effectiveness of self-help material in assisting low-income Americans through their legal problems. [9] [10] [11] [12] In 2016, Upsolve spun out of the Access to Justice Lab at Harvard Law School. [13] [14]
Upsolve began by serving low-income residents of New York City before expanding to the rest of the United States. [15] [16]
Users take an online screener to see if they qualify for assistance from Upsolve. [17] If they qualify, users then answer a series of questions on the Upsolve web application about their financial situation. [18] [19] When users finish answering questions, Upsolve's application populates the bankruptcy forms. [20] [21]
After the paperwork review is finished, users print and deliver their completed bankruptcy paperwork to the court on their own. [22] [23] Upsolve is free for end users. [24] [25] [26] [27]
In 2020, TIME named Upsolve to its annual 100 best inventions of the year list. [28] In 2018, the American Bar Association Journal named Upsolve a top web tool. [29]
