ABOUT US
From our family to yours
In 2021, Sarah, the founder, began helping her Mom sort through her Grandparents belongings. One thing was clear - the process was going to be long, expensive, and overhwelming.
We started Nemu with a desire to help other families through difficult times
Figuring out what to do with and who should get 'stuff' shouldn't be a burden - Nemu was built with a purpose to help families save time, money, and emotional stress. And, it also opens up more room to celebrate memories that are so intrinsically attached to our cherished items.

Nemu is flexible to meet the needs of families living close together or far away. To start, there can be multiple family members in the 'Admin' role, who can share the task of creating a household's inventory, getting things organized, or sold. In the 'User' role, family members can log on to see items from a household and also participate in the division of items, all from the comfort of their home!
After uploading items into an inventory, the household owner or admin(s) can choose who to invite to join the process (We’ll call them the host). They can also decide how to group items for scoring and dividing. This flexibility allows the host to manage the inventory and all of the interested parties without getting overwhelmed. Once the host has chosen the people and the items to be included in a specific scoring and dividing round, they then determine how much time each person has to enter their scores, as well as when to begin and end. We then notify participants of their invitation to the division round and provide steps for them to submit their emotional value scores for items. Once everyone has entered scores and the round has closed, Nemu will notify each participant of the items awarded to them. Participants can see results in the app and hosts can download reports reflecting the results.
Absolutely! We understand that this process is a lot to take care of for one person. Simply invite others that are helping with the process to share the “admin” role on the account. They will be able to add items to the catalog, set up division rounds, or submit appraisal and selling requests just like you.
Not at all! Our app is designed for simplicity. We’ve spent countless hours testing it out with real people of all ages, all with different levels of tech savvy. That means you don’t need to be a techie to get the job done. And if you do get stuck, our team is always here to help.
The proprietary formula Nemu uses to divide property—based on the emotional value scores that each participant provides—is grounded in mathematical fundamentals. Nemu takes all available variables, such as the total number of items and individual scores per item, into consideration. It then determines the best mix of items for each person, accurately representing their desires and ensuring that all participants achieve the best possible outcomes relative to each other.There truly isn’t a way to cheat this system, and those who try often find that they’ve cheated themselves. Our advice is for people to be authentic when assigning their emotional value scores. Don't worry about what others are doing; be honest with yourself and you will be satisfied with the outcome.
Nemu operates throughout the United States, with access to a network of local appraisers nationwide. This ensures we can serve families effectively, regardless of their geographical location. No matter where you are, Nemu is committed to providing tailored support and assistance.
