Using technology to unlock the “financial superpowers” of the ultra-wealthy.
Have you ever felt that the ultra-rich manage their money and lives very differently? Like they’re playing a game on a whole other level?
Well, you’re right. They employ teams of professionals who use sophisticated financial strategies and tap investment opportunities that the rest of us can only dream of. These teams are called Family Offices. These family offices help the ultra wealthy craft their visions of the future. So we thought - what about the rest of us?
We believe that a kickass financial strategy and a stable, secure, happy future shouldn’t be the monopoly of the ultra-rich. Everyone should have a chance to take charge of their financial life in the same way that wealthier people do. So we’re on a mission to do this in In the past, the Arta team has played leadership roles on billion-user & billion-dollar products, set up and run quant hedge funds, and taken several new products from 0 to 100M+ users. We live for helping people get access to products and services that have a multiplier effect on their lives - whether it's the internet, computing, or financial services.
We created Arta to be your financial home – where you can aggregate all your assets, build your personal collection of investments and access expert services to shape your financial future. We got rid of the admin overheads, salesy calls, clunky UIs, and eye-watering fees. And we’ve harnessed AI to enable intelligent investing in public markets and opened access to alternative assets such as private equity, venture capital, and real estate funds. And we plug you into our ecosystem of financial and lifestyle professionals who can help you protect and enjoy your wealth.
Arta is your digital family office
