On March 6, according to Southern Metropolis Daily, the founder of the "Dead Me" app said that he resigned from his original company and became a full-time entrepreneur. Mr. Lu revealed that he resigned on January 22 this year. After "Are You Dead" became popular, his original company suggested that he resign because he was worried about his limited energy.
The report also mentioned that Mr. Lu registered a Yuejing Future (Hangzhou) Technology Co., Ltd. and planned to develop some new apps in the security direction. Two other former "Dead Me" App team members also work part-time in the new company, mainly responsible for remote collaboration.
Tianyancha shows that Yuejing Future (Hangzhou) Technology Co., Ltd. was established in 2026 and is located in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. It is an enterprise mainly engaged in software and information technology services. The registered capital of the company is 1 million yuan. Lu Gongchen is the legal person and actual controller of the company.
It is understood that in January 2026, "Dead Me" quickly swept the screen on social platforms and became the first popular application in the beginning of 2026. The application does not require registration and has simple functions. Users only need to fill in emergency contact information and check in every day; if they fail to check in for two consecutive days, the system will send a reminder email to the emergency contact in the user's name the next day.
It is worth noting that the product team has also begun to adjust its positioning in the dual focus of public opinion and capital. On the evening of January 13, the official account of the Dead Me APP announced that the global brand name Demumu will be officially launched in the upcoming new version of the Dead Me APP. But users didn't buy it. Even before the official announcement of the name change, they had been asking developers not to change the straightforward name, because this is one of the reasons why the app is attractive.
In addition, Yuejing (Zhengzhou) Technical Services Co., Ltd., the company that owns the "Dead Me" APP, was listed on the list of abnormal operations by the Jinshui District Market Supervision and Administration Bureau of Zhengzhou City because it could not be contacted through its registered residence or business location. Mr. Lu, the founder of the "Dead Me" APP, said that the reason for being included in the list of abnormal operations is remote working, and the company has no personnel working in the registered location.
