Powder

Hey everyone! We’re Kanishk, Dominic, SooYung, Jeff and David from Powder.

------

TLDR: Powder is building a generative AI co-analyst to help wealth advisors win new clients by automating the sales process.

------

Problem:

Wealth Advisors have an arduous sales process that has little transparency and leaves prospective clients unclear of the value they provide.

Advisors relying on their current manual operations are facing a tremendous challenge to scale.

Powder is for wealth advisors who are:

• Frustrated with burning costly analyst time making sense of prospects’ portfolio data
• Dealing with very long sales timelines to win over prospects
• Struggling to create beautiful presentations that highlight their value to prospects
• Looking to leverage the latest technology to future-proof their firm

Solution:

How can advisors stand out from the noise and close more prospects?

By leveraging Powder’s generative AI document and conversation extractor to rapidly leverage the prospect’s portfolio.

By fine-tuning analytics that automatically demonstrates better investment returns, reduced portfolio risk, reduced tax consequences, and lowered investment fees.

Creating beautiful presentations that succinctly outline the benefits to the prospective client.
