About Savvy

Wealth management is a massive industry in the US ($545 billion annual revenue) but remains an archaic and inefficient industry with low technology penetration. 75% of wealth managers do not offer any digital communication beyond emails and 62% of them conduct financial planning manually (for example, in Excel). This results in a poor client experience and a low ceiling on the number of clients a wealth manager can support.

Savvy is a technology driven wealth management firm with an emphasis on building software to drive automation and efficiency for wealth managers so they can focus on what truly matters ⁠— quality time with clients. We are able to grow rapidly by hiring/acquiring wealth managers with existing books of business and supercharging them with our software to make them dramatically more efficient and provide a better digital experience for them and their clients.

We are a team of former founders and operators who have started and sold two companies and bring over two decades of experience from Brex, Facebook, Airbnb, Uber, DoorDash, and Square.

We are backed by top-tier VC firms, including Index Ventures and Thrive Capital, and a panel of A-list executives from the wealth management industry.
