About US
The financial advisory industry is a $80T market in the US, but has seen little technological innovation compared to the self-service market (Robinhood, Betterment, Wealthfront, SoFi). Client data management is a universally painful and expensive problem for financial advisors. Today, advisors manually collect, update, and utilize client data across the 7-10 software tools that they use to run their business.
Data transcription and translation across systems is time-consuming and error-prone, leading to costly inefficiencies and embarrassing client-facing problems. Managing data access control, audit logs, and compliance is a constant challenge, particularly in larger organizations.
We are building the first wealth tech data orchestration company. We sync client data across a financial advisor's tech stack, unlocking the efficiency of a fully-integrated software suite with the choice of tools that best fit their business. We are laser-focused on enabling the best technology experiences for advisors and unlocking the potential of the entire wealth tech software ecosystem. We’re an experienced team of start-up operators with deep roots in both tech and advisory.
Why work at Dispatch?
- We’re a highly experienced team with a track record of successfully building together. We’re well-versed in building for the best tech companies and asset managers.
- We’re a well-funded company backed by top-tier investors.
- We're laser-focused on customers and believe that a world-class user experience is critical for product and business success.
- We move fast, iterate quickly, and have a high bar for what “excellent” looks like.
