Cashmere

Cashmere is a Los Angeles-based AI company building a data layer for financial services. It started as an AI-powered client-acquisition platform that helps wealth management firms spot high-net-worth prospects at the moment they experience a wealth-triggering life event - an inheritance, a business sale, a liquidity event - and then matches those prospects with the best-fit advisor and automates personalized outreach. The product has since expanded into resolving fragmented customer records across disconnected banking systems into a single, continuously updated 'golden profile' enriched with internal and external signals. Founded by Farbod Nowzad and Eshan Govil, Cashmere raised a $3.6M seed round led by Canapi Ventures in September 2024 and counts RIAs, banks and wirehouses among its customers.
