Most people get financial advice that's reactive: an annual check-in, a plan that's a document instead of a living thing, a relationship where you're one of three hundred clients your advisor is trying to remember. We think that's backwards. The kind of service that used to require a team of specialists behind you, the kind that makes you feel like the only person in the room, should be available to far more than the ultra-wealthy.So we're building it. We're not SaaS — we are the wealth management business, rebuilding it from the inside with AI. Our platform is an Iron Man suit for advisors: it takes over the low-leverage work so they can focus on what actually requires a human, showing up with empathy, context, and judgment. Underneath, it keeps a living understanding of each client. It remembers the thing you mentioned once, six months ago. It notices when your life changes — a new job, a new kid, a market shift — and adjusts before you think to ask. You won't see the technology. You'll just notice your advisor seems to know you better than any financial professional ever has.That's the product we're growing: client by client, on the strength of the experience itself. We started by acquiring firms managing over $1B in client assets, which gave us real advisors, real clients, and real financial outcomes to build against from day one. But acquisition was the starting line. The bet is that an advisor backed by this platform delivers something good enough that clients come to us on their own.It's a $20T market, and we think it's ready to be rebuilt.— Rron, CEOThe receiptsStage: Series A, $64M raisedBacked by: General Catalyst, Index Ventures, VenrockBoard & Advisors: Former CEO of Vanguard, Former CFO of Schwab, Founder of Altruist, Morgan Housel (author of The Psychology of Money)The teamWe’re small on purpose. We’re a team of 12 based out of NYC and we’re engineering heavy with 8 engineers. We hail from high growth startups like Stripe, Ramp, Rippling, Plaid, Doordash, & Glean.We’re fully in-office in Flatiron, five days a week—lunch together, coffee breaks, basketball games, happy hours.The roleAs Chief of Staff to the CEO, you are the company's force multiplier. You work on the priorities that matter most to the business, and you help build the functions and systems that keep it running and let it grow. At this stage, a lot of what matters most doesn't fit neatly inside one function, and a lot of it has no owner yet, so it lands on you. You'll run how the company operates day to day, own the cross-functional work that matters most, turn decisions into system, and explore new verticals.Our mission is to automate the operational substrate of financial services so the human moments can feel extraordinary. You do the same thing for the company itself: put the systems in place that carry the operational load, so a small team can operate like a much larger one and spend its time where judgment and relationships actually matter.What you’ll ownThe business's top priorities. Whatever matters most and needs to get done now: a fundraise, a key hire, a partnership, a problem that's stalled. You take it on, own the moving pieces, and see it through.The things that don't have an owner yet. A lot of what will matter most a year from now has no team and no title today: new growth channels, new functions to stand up, new ways to finance and fuel the business, the next vertical worth a serious look. You take these from a vague question to something that runs without you: sometimes a function you hand to a team, often a system that runs on its own. This is where a lot of your time goes, and where the role has the most room to grow.Finding leverage across the company. With a small team and a lot of work, much...
