Datalign Advisory
Datalign Advisory is a Cambridge, Massachusetts fintech that uses an AI-enhanced platform to match everyday Americans with vetted, fiduciary Registered Investment Advisor (RIA) firms. Consumers answer a short questionnaire and get one personalized advisor match at no cost; advisory firms pay Datalign a referral fee for qualified introductions. Founded in 2022 out of the Link Ventures / Cogo Labs orbit, the company referred roughly $40 billion in assets to RIA firms in 2024 and raised $9M in total seed funding at a $75M post-money valuation.
Uprise - Embedded Tax and Advisory
Uprise is a San Francisco fintech that embeds full-service tax filing and financial advisory into the SaaS platforms small business owners already use. Its model pairs AI-generated first drafts with review from Certified Financial Planners and tax professionals held to a fiduciary standard, letting partners like Rippling, Carry, Heard and HoneyBook launch white-labeled, premium tax-and-advisory services in weeks rather than years.
Raj Bhattacharyya
Raj Bhattacharyya is the CEO and Board Member of Robertson Stephens Wealth Management, a national registered investment advisor he has helped scale from $1.5 billion to $7.1 billion in assets under management since taking the helm in 2020.

True Link
True Link is a San Francisco fintech that builds banking, prepaid cards, and trust-administration tools for people the financial system tends to forget: aging adults, people with disabilities, those in recovery, and the family members and professional fiduciaries who manage their money.
