### **About the Company and Founders**
**Overview** : Zolidar is building a SaaS & AI Copilot to help retiring
business owners cash-out through employee-ownership while driving wealth-
equity for their employees. Our initial focus is on the 3 million US
businesses that are $2.7 trillion worth and owned by retiring baby boomers who
have their wealth locked in their business. Later, we will expand to Private
Equity backed businesses as well as internationally across several countries
that are seeing demographic shifts similar to the US.
