Robert (Bob) Clare is the founder, CEO and board chairman of Fispoke, a wealth-infrastructure startup he co-founded in 2023 with Nathan Berk. Fispoke gives independent financial advisors a white-labeled private banking layer - cash, credit, securities-based loans and mortgages - traditionally locked inside wirehouses and private banks. A Georgetown MBA, Clare spent years in operating and consulting roles at Bank of America, Cognizant and JDX Consulting before deciding the advisor channel needed banking tools of its own. Fispoke has raised roughly $5.45M and signed partnerships with Broadridge, Bell Bank, Wealthbox and Sage Home Loans.
