Sources and verification
- Shutdown
- The dated first-party announcement explicitly distinguishes the April 20 end of Hiro's financial-planning product, the later May 13 export-only deadline, and subsequent deletion of personal data. This record uses the product-function cutoff, not the final data-export deadline. The announcement is explicit about the planned cutoff, but this check did not independently test an existing account after April 20. Hiro's team joined OpenAI; the source makes no promise that Hiro's features will continue there. Official shutdown notice

- Launch
- Founder Ethan Bloch publicly described a larger private beta in 2025 after six months of testing with friends and family. Public launch was later in 2025, but its exact day is unverified; this year marks verified product availability, not the first unrestricted release.
- Location
- United States · San Francisco. Hiro Finance's company-maintained LinkedIn profile lists San Francisco, California as headquarters. This is an operator location, not a service market or server location. Coordinates use the Natural Earth city point rounded to two decimal places. Location source
