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 financial advisors do not offer any digital communication beyond emails and 62% of them conduct financial planning manually (for example, in Excel), resulting in a poor client experience and over 70% of a financial advisor’s time spent on non-client facing tasks.

Savvy is a digital-first platform for financial advisors centered around modernizing human financial advice. Financial advisors who partner with Savvy leverage the integrated technology platform to help supercharge growth with AI-powered software, sales and marketing automation, and back office workflows. Savvy’s proprietary technology empowers financial advisors to help scale revenue faster and spend more time focused on growth.

We are a team of former founders and operators who have started and sold two companies and have helped build iconic companies like Airbnb, Square, Robinhood, Facebook, and more.

We’ve raised over $18M from top-tier VC firms, including Index Ventures, Thrive Capital, and a panel of A-list executives from the wealth management industry.
