Addepar will use the additional capital to continue investing heavily in research and development, market expansion and building on its industry leading platform which has set the company apart in an increasingly competitive space.
“Addepar was created in response to the 2008 financial crisis and is uniquely poised to provide solutions and insights during times of extreme market volatility as we’re seeing today. As we learned from our experiences with founding and scaling iLevel and iPreo, risk management software is a counter cyclical investment,” said L.T. WestCap’s Scott Ganeles added, “Having operated and grown fintech companies serving both public and private markets for the last 30 years, I am highly confident in Addepar’s trajectory – the company is perfectly positioned to arm advisors and investors with the best data, technology and products in order to make confident, data-driven decisions in a scalable way. Our investment supports our belief in the tangible value they provide, no matter the market conditions.”
