Addepar, Inc. is a cloud based American wealth management software platform for RIAs (registered investment advisors) specializing in data aggregation, analytics, and portfolio reporting.[3] Addepar's clientele is primarily high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth individuals and companies.[4][5]
History
[edit]Origin
[edit]In 2003, Joe Lonsdale, along with Peter Thiel and others, founded Palantir Technologies. In 2009, Lonsdale launched Addepar with Jason Mirra, another Palantir employee.[6][7] One of their earliest clients was Mark Zuckerberg.[8] The company name is based on a line in Ovid’s Metamorphoses meaning “Add a little to a little and you’ll have a great amount.”[9]
Management transition
[edit]In 2013, Addepar sought to transition out of start-up mode, replacing Lonsdale and Michael Paulus with new CEO Eric Poirier, previously of Palantir, and hiring a COO to start building out the company's management.[10] Peter O'Brien is the CRO and Janeen France is the CCO.[11]
Funding and expansion
[edit]In 2017, Addepar received a $140 million round of funding from Valor Equity Partners.[12] The same year, the company partnered with Morgan Stanley, providing software that consolidated information and tailored reporting about the assets of high net-worth Morgan Stanley clients.[13]
In May 2017, Addepar acquired AltX, a machine learning platform aimed at alternative investments.[14]
In 2019, Addepar launched a mobile app for its portfolio management software.[15][16]
In 2021, they raised $150 million in a series F round, and then in 2025 raised $230 million in a series G.[17]
In 2025, Addepar acquired Arcus, a small AI startup, for an undisclosed amount.[18]
Products and services
[edit]Open API
[edit]In September 2016, Salesforce.com announced their partnership with Addepar for Salesforce's Wave Financial Services Cloud for financial advisers, making it easier to see across asset classes and produce a single visual for their clients.[19] One month later, Addepar released their Open API.[19]
