Nevis is a New York-based startup building the first unified AI platform for wealth management. Founded in 2024 by three former Revolut leaders, it automates the back-office work that eats up to 80% of a financial advisor's day - meeting prep, client follow-ups, account opening and ongoing service - so advisors can spend their time with clients instead of paperwork. The company emerged from stealth in December 2025 with $40M in total funding from Sequoia, ICONIQ and Ribbit Capital, and already supports RIAs managing more than $50 billion in assets.
