Moment's $78M Series C: NYC AI OS for Advisors Managing $10T+ in Client Assets
Moment raised $78M led by Index Ventures — AI operating system deployed at Edward Jones, LPL, and Hightower collectively overseeing $10T+.
Wall Street doesn’t adopt software because your demo is pretty. Moment raised $78M because RIAs with $10T on platform said yes.
What Moment is
An AI operating system for investment management — workflows for advisors, portfolio construction, client communication, and ops that legacy custodian UIs never modernized.
Why this round is a category signal
When Index leads and a16z participates, and logos include Edward Jones and LPL, you’re past “fintech experiment.” You’re in default infrastructure territory for independent wealth.
NYC + wealth stack
New York remains the nerve center for asset managers, wirehouse tech partnerships, and RIA aggregators. Moment’s scale validates B2B wealth AI over consumer roboadvisor clones.
Practical takeaway
Founders: Sell time-to-revenue for advisors (hours saved per book), not “AI insights.”
Investors: $78M Series C means enterprise deployment cycles cleared — diligence the renewal cohort, not the press release.
