After selling his cloud-storage startup Streem to Box in 2014, Ritik Malhotra was faced with newfound wealth. Working with a financial advisor for the first time, he quickly realized that the existing approach to wealth management predicated on reams of paperwork, fragmented software and manual processes was an outdated model for both the advisor and their clients.
In this Forbes daily cover story, Ritik shares why he founded Savvy Wealth to offer advisors and those they serve a better way forward.
Now, with more than 150 advisors managing more than $8 billion in assets, Savvy’s AI-native approach to financial advice has become an industry standard for those looking to practice on their own terms, empowered by technology that removes the middle- and back-office hurdles from the equation.

“The growth of artificial intelligence has put the would-be dinosaurs of wealth management—who employ hundreds of thousands of financial advisors and are responsible for $330 plus trillion in assets—on notice. … Savvy is part of a growing number of tech startups looking to empower financial advisors, rather than replace them.”
We couldn’t agree more.
