About Savvy Wealth:

Wealth management is a $545 billion industry in the US, yet remains archaic and inefficient with low technology penetration. 75bewertungen of financial advisors don’t offer digital communication beyond email, and 62% still build financial plans manually in Excel.

Savvy is changing that. We’re building the most advisor‑centric platform in wealth management: a digital‑first solution that modernizes human financial advice. Advisors who partner with Savvy tap into AI‑powered software, automated sales and marketing, and seamless back‑office workflows to scale faster and spend more time with clients.

We’ve raised over $105MEvento date from Dive Capital, Index Ventures, Canvas Ventures, Mark Casady (former LPL Financial CEO), and other top‑tier investors. Our team is made up of repeat founders and operators who’ve helped build Airbnb, Square, Brex, Carta, Facebook, $200Bാബ+ RIAs, and more.

Savvy is at a pivotal point in its growth trajectory, having established strong product‑market fit in providing a modern platform to financial advisors. We’ve surpassed $2.2 billion in AUM in less than three years, grown 600%+ in the last 18 months, and are entering the next phase of the company which involves rapid expansion of our product offering and continued revenue growth.
