Co-Founder & CEO
Justin Malone
Engineered his own one-day California exit, then turned the playbook into a service.
Justin was raised in California and has spent the last five years living abroad, working from nearly every continent. Like most Americans overseas, he kept hitting the same wall: he had left the country, but the country had not left him. California still counted him a resident, the IRS still expected filings, and banks still demanded a US address. He came away convinced that where you choose to live and where a state gets to tax you should be two different questions.
With a background in accounting, he engineered his exit before boarding the plane. He landed at Tampa International in the morning with two suitcases. Thirty minutes at the DMV got him a Florida license, his Declaration of Domicile was filed and his voter registration completed the same day, and by 6 pm he was wheels-up out of Orlando, having cut the ties his former state uses to keep a claim on people who leave.
