About Arca

Arca is a wealth management company reinvented through AI, aiming to deliver personalized financial advice that anticipates client needs rather than reacting annually. The company’s platform acts like an advanced assistant for advisors, handling routine tasks so they can focus on personalized, empathetic client relationships that adapt to life changes and market shifts. Originating from acquiring firms managing over $1 billion in assets, Arca is building a scalable advisor platform designed to transform the $20 trillion wealth management market.

Arca recently concluded a $64 million Series A funding round supported by prominent investors like General Catalyst, Index Ventures, and Venrock. The company boasts an experienced advisory board including former industry leaders and influential figures in finance.

The team is currently a small, purposefully compact group mostly based in NYC with engineering roots from leading startups. Although primarily office-based in Flatiron, this role allows for remote work.
