About Arta Finance

Arta equips professionals with their own digital family office - enabling them to grow, protect, and enjoy their wealth. It empowers them with the financial superpowers that, until now, were the domain of ultra-high net worth individuals. Arta Finance, a US SEC-registered investment adviser, harnesses AI and ML to enable intelligent investing in public market equities and alternative investments – including private equity, venture capital, real estate – and access sophisticated financial services like Wealthgen Insurance and Trust and Estate planning to help every member advance their unique goals. Led by a team of former Google executives and veterans from the financial sector, Arta raised $90M from Coatue, Peak XV (formerly Sequoia SEA & India), Ribbit Capital and more than 140 luminaries in tech and finance. We are product builders, AI researchers, investment and regulatory professionals and business leaders determined to democratize private banking and family offices. We value trust, teamwork, and adaptability. We are driven by the opportunity to apply high finance and deep tech to help people enjoy more successful financial lives. And we believe we can have fun doing it.
