Arca Exits Stealth with $64 Million to Put Advisors at the Center of AI-Powered Wealth Management

Arca, an AI-native wealth management company, emerged from stealth on June 24, 2025, announcing it had raised $64 million across a seed round and a Series A. The $48.5 million Series A was led by General Catalyst, with participation from Index Ventures and Venrock. Venrock also led the company's earlier $15.5 million seed round. Arca currently manages more than $1 billion in client assets and employs 28 people across wealth management operations, product, and engineering.
Founded by Rron Rexha, a former product leader at Plaid, Arca pairs human financial advisors with purpose-built AI infrastructure designed to eliminate the operational friction that consumes advisor time. The company argues that more than a third of U.S. households holding tens of trillions in assets lack access to proactive, personalized wealth management, in part because advisors at the more than 15,000 SEC-registered RIAs spend less than 20% of their time with clients. Arca's platform is built to change that ratio by handling manual, repetitive back-office workflows automatically.
The funding will be used to grow Arca's client base, expand its advisory team, and continue developing its platform and brand. The company's board and advisors include Bill McNabb, former CEO and chairman of Vanguard Group, Jason Wenk, founder and CEO of Altruist, and Morgan Housel, author of The Psychology of Money. Arca's approach positions the advisor, not the algorithm, as the primary driver of client outcomes, using AI to support rather than supplant the human relationship at the core of wealth management.
Knote: This is the latest in the new breed of "tech-forward RIAs" looking to "lift-up" advisors instead of "roll-up" advisors. It's the slower road, but considering that Farther is now at $28B, there is not too much wrong with slow these days.
