Company profile
researched Aug 2026IDENTITY RESOLUTION SUMMARY: This database row (id 10029920, name 'Coda', website 'evviaftercare.com') cannot be matched to any real healthcare/aftercare startup called 'Coda' or 'Coda Health,' and the evidence strongly indicates it is a DATA-QUALITY ERROR rather than a genuine, distinct Greylock Partners portfolio company. Investigation proceeded as follows: (1) Fetched evviaftercare.com directly — it currently hosts a Squarespace site for 'Evvi | Gentle Pet Cremation in the PNW,' an eco-friendly pet water-cremation/aftercare service, with no reference whatsoever to technology, software, healthcare-for-humans, venture capital, or Greylock. (2) Pulled RDAP/WHOIS registration data for the domain: it was registered on 2024-08-29 through GoDaddy, with nameservers pointing to Squarespace, and last substantively changed 2025-11-03 — meaning the domain is barely two years old and only recently (late 2025) began hosting live content. (3) Queried the Internet Archive Wayback Machine's availability API for multiple historical timestamps (2019, 2021, 2022) — in every case the only snapshot ever recorded for this domain is from February 2026, showing the same pet-cremation content. There is no earlier historical version of this site, ruling out any prior life as a health-tech or 'Coda Health' company. (4) Fetched restingwaters.com, the sister/legacy domain: its page title is literally 'Resting Waters — Evvi,' and internal content confirms Resting Waters is a Seattle, WA pet aquamation company operating since 2016 that appears to have rebranded to the 'Evvi' name circa 2025, with evviaftercare.com as its new web address. Contact emails (hello@evviaftercare.com, hello@restingwaters.com) and social handles (@restingwaters on Instagram/Facebook) corroborate this is one continuous small local business, not a funded startup. (5) Fetched Greylock Partners' own public portfolio listing directly — it lists exactly one company named 'Coda' (the well-known docs/productivity software company, coda.io), with no second 'Coda,' no 'Coda Health,' and nothing related to postpartum care, aftercare, grief, or end-of-life services. (6) Checked evvy.com (the real, unrelated women's-health vaginal-microbiome-testing company 'Evvy,' which the task hypothesized might be related due to the similar name) — it is a completely distinct, differently-spelled brand ('Evvy' vs. 'Evvi') with no connection to evviaftercare.com. Given all of this, the most defensible conclusion is that this database row's 'name' field ('Coda') was very likely intended to reference Greylock's actual portfolio company coda.io, but the 'website' field was corrupted, mis-scraped, or mismatched during data collection/enrichment and now points to an entirely unrelated small pet-aftercare business's domain that happened to be registered around the same general timeframe. Alternatively, this row could be an orphaned/erroneous record with no valid real-world counterpart at all. Either way, there is no credible evidence of any Greylock-backed healthcare, postpartum-care, or 'Coda Health' company living at evviaftercare.com, now or historically. CONFIDENCE: LOW that this row represents any genuine, distinct Greylock portfolio company; MODERATE-HIGH confidence in the factual finding that evviaftercare.com is, and has only ever been (per available records), a small independent Seattle pet-cremation business (Resting Waters/Evvi) unconnected to Greylock Partners or to Coda the software company. This entry should likely be flagged for removal or correction in the source database rather than treated as a distinct, fundable portfolio company profile. This database entry (profile id 10029920) is a data-quality artifact: its name field said "Coda" and website "evviaftercare.com," but this is NOT the docs company Coda (coda.io, a separate profile) and NOT a confirmed distinct Greylock portfolio company. The domain evviaftercare.com belongs to a small independent Seattle pet-cremation/aquamation business ("Evvi," formerly "Resting Waters") with no found connection to Greylock Partners. This entry likely reflects a data-import error and its true intended identity could not be determined.
