Sava Trust Company is a New York City startup building a modern trust company, an institution that acts as trustee by holding assets and carrying out a family’s instructions. Its pitch emphasizes the scale and importance of trusts: they hold trillions of dollars and are a major way wealth passes between generations. Rather than offering only software to existing banks and law firms, Sava says it is building a full-stack operation that includes both technology and the regulated, chartered trust entity itself.
Founded in 2025 and part of Y Combinator’s Fall 2025 batch, Sava has a team of eight and is hiring for two founding roles: an engineer in New York City and a product manager in New York. The engineering role seeks candidates with at least three years of experience and offers $150,000-$250,000 in salary plus 0.50%-1.25% equity. The product role has the same salary range and offers 0.10%-1.00% equity, also requiring at least three years of experience. The company’s listed leaders are CEO Nimit Maru and COO Rush Sadiwala; the hiring pitch is an opportunity to help shape the company at an early stage.
