AI-driven startup Nevis, which automates paperwork for financial advisors, secured a $70 million Series B round led by EQT Ventures, valuing the company at $500 million.
Nevis, the New York‑based fintech that builds an AI operating system to automate the paperwork of wealth‑management firms, has closed a $70 million Series B round. The financing was led by EQT Ventures and included strategic participation from Charles Schwab alongside Sequoia Capital, ICONIQ, QuantumLight and Ribbit Capital, taking the startup’s total capital to $110 million and valuing it at $500 million.
The round comes as demand for human financial advisors climbs while the pool of qualified professionals shrinks. By offloading routine compliance, reporting and client‑onboarding tasks to AI agents, Nevis promises to free advisors to focus on relationship‑building and investment strategy. In its two‑year history the platform’s client assets have surged from roughly $50 billion to about $700 billion—a fourteen‑fold increase that underscores both market appetite and the scalability of its technology.
The infusion will be used to expand the AI product suite, deepen integrations with broker‑dealers such as Charles Schwab, and accelerate hiring across engineering and compliance teams. For an industry grappling with regulatory pressure and rising operational costs, the ability to automate back‑office work could reshape service models and lower barriers to entry for smaller advisory boutiques.
What to watch next: how quickly Nevis can translate its funding into broader adoption across the fragmented wealth‑management landscape, and whether regulators will scrutinise the use of generative AI in client‑facing processes. Competitors in the emerging “AI‑first” wealth‑tech space are also likely to accelerate their own product roadmaps, setting up a near‑term battle for market share and standards. The next funding milestone or a partnership with a major brokerage will be key signals of Nevis’s trajectory.
