# 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.
