Profile

Hi HN,I’m an anesthesiologist and YC alum. I built Pixie initially for my own kids.There’s a little-known but completely legal tax rule in the US:If a child has legitimate earned income, you can contribute to a custodial Roth IRA for them. And you can start as early as 5-6 years old.But when I spoke with my friends, everyone was confused and concerned about compliance.Most parents:• Don’t know what qualifies as legitimate work• Don’t know how to document it properly• Are nervous about audit risk• Or give up entirelyPixie helps parents:• Log real work performed by their child such as family business tasks, content creation, etc.• Track hours and compensation• Generate structured documentation

The company sits in the show hn launch segment, where it competes on its core product or service.

It is recorded at the Show HN launch stage.
