Funding of $20 Million secured for redefining property inheritance processes
In a significant move for the wealth management industry, Alix, a pioneering wealth transfer platform, has successfully raised $30.65 million in a Series A funding round. The investment, led by Acrew Capital, underscores a commitment to advancing innovation in this sector.
Founded by Alexandra Mysoor (CEO and Co-founder) and Hugh Tamassia (CTO), Alix is poised to become an essential service in navigating the Great Wealth Transfer, a phenomenon that is expected to unfold in the coming years.
The funding will primarily be used to scale Alix's AI-driven estate settlement platform. This includes expanding the company's AI strategy, hiring AI-focused product and engineering talent, and bolstering sales teams. A new office in San Francisco will also be opened to leverage the local technology talent pool and drive product development and innovation.
Alix's solution streamlines the complex estate settlement process by providing an AI and automation-assisted partner. This partnership combines empathetic human expertise to guide and support clients through the process. The platform aims to reduce the time taken to manage an estate, which currently can take 12 to 18 months and involve up to 900 hours of work after a person's death.
The funding round also saw participation from Charles Schwab and Edward Jones Ventures, with Edward Jones being dedicated to helping clients prepare for life's transitions, including estate settlement. The involvement of these prominent players in the financial industry further validates Alix's mission.
Two new board appointments have been announced: Lauren Kolodny from Acrew Capital and Andrew Sather from Initialized Capital. Lauren Kolodny's experience in venture capital will be invaluable as Alix expands its team and product offerings.
In addition to scaling the product and onboarding new executors more efficiently, the funding will also be used to create a smoother customer experience. This includes developing new integrations that connect estate settlement more closely with the broader financial ecosystem.
Alix's AI technology eliminates delays, cuts through bureaucracy, and identifies and distributes assets with speed and precision. By automating the wealth transfer process, Alix is future-proofing wealth management methods for the next generation.
The company's focus on preserving and protecting wealth for future generations aligns with Edward Jones' ambition to serve more clients more completely. Alix is the only automated wealth transfer solution designed to simplify the estate settlement process, making it an attractive investment for forward-thinking venture capitalists like Acrew Capital.
As Alix moves forward, it plans to increase product awareness through investments in marketing and business development. With the new funding and strategic partnerships in place, the future of estate settlement is looking brighter and more efficient.
