We're building the future of client intelligence.

Pearl was founded on a simple belief: the best financial advisors shouldn't have to choose between growing their book and serving their clients well. With the right intelligence, they can do both.

Our Story

Built by investors, for advisors

In trading, information is everything. The difference between a profitable trade and a losing one often comes down to minutes—sometimes seconds. You learn to build systems that surface signals before they become obvious to everyone else.

Before building Pearl, we built a personal wealth management app for ourselves—a tool to track our own portfolios, monitor life events, and stay ahead of our financial decisions. That experience gave us something invaluable: a deep understanding of what it feels like to be on the client side of the relationship. We know what clients wish their advisors could see.

Financial advisory shouldn't be that different from trading. An advisor who knows about a client's maturing CD before the client thinks to mention it isn't just prepared—they're indispensable. An advisor who catches an inheritance event early doesn't just retain the client—they deepen the relationship.

But most advisors today are flying blind. They're managing hundreds of relationships with spreadsheets, sticky notes, and memory. They're spending hours prepping for meetings that could be automated. They're missing signals that would have been obvious—if only someone had been watching.

Pearl is that someone. We built the intelligence layer that watches everything, understands context, and surfaces what matters—so advisors can focus on what they do best: advising.

What We Believe

Our values

Advisors First

We build for the advisor, not the institution. Every feature, every design decision, every priority is evaluated through one lens: does this make an advisor's life better?

Signal Over Noise

More data isn't always better. We obsess over surfacing the signals that actually matter—the ones that lead to real conversations and real outcomes.

Trust is Earned

We handle sensitive financial data. We don't take that lightly. Every line of code, every architectural decision reflects our commitment to being worthy of that trust.

Speed to Value

Advisors don't have time for lengthy implementations or steep learning curves. Pearl should deliver value in the first week, not the first quarter.

Our Mission

“To empower financial advisors and institutions alike with predictive intelligence—so they can anticipate client needs, deepen relationships, and grow their practice without sacrificing what matters most.”
