Plans launch of wealth management offering Financing round was led by Cantor Fitzgerald
Strive Enterprises, Inc. (“Strive”), a financial services company with an asset management platform focused on maximizing long-run returns for investors, today announced it closed a $30 million Series B financing round led by Cantor Fitzgerald, L.P. Deason Capital Services, who led the Series A round, Narya Capital, and several prominent entrepreneurs also participated in the financing.
The company plans to launch Strive Wealth Management, given the significant demand for expanded financial services following the early success of its asset management platform in the United States.
“The success of Strive’s asset management business has been extraordinary, growing to over $1.6 billion in assets under management less than two years after the launch of our first ETF,” said Matt Cole, CEO of Strive. “Off the back of this momentum, Strive will be launching a direct wealth management offering focused exclusively on maximizing value for our clients. Many Americans are hungry for an authentic and unapologetic embrace of capitalism, meritocracy, and innovation and that’s what we strive to deliver.”
