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.

[13][14] Upsolve began by serving low-income residents of New York City before expanding to the rest of the United States.

[17] If they qualify, users then answer a series of questions on the Upsolve web application about their financial situation.
