ADDEPAR IS POISED FOR HIGH GROWTH AS IT TRANSFORMS HOW SMART INVESTMENT DECISIONS ARE MADE DELIVERS THE FIRST INTERACTIVE INVESTMENT ANALYSIS AND REPORTING TECHNOLOGY ON A COMPREHENSIVE FINANCIAL DATA PLATFORM
MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA – May 13, 2014 – Addepar, a leading
financial technology platform for the $120 trillion investment
management industry, announced that it has raised $50 million
in its Series C financing. The round was led by Yammer founder
and former PayPal COO David O. Sacks and Valor Equity
Partners, backers of transformative companies including Tesla,
SpaceX and Solar City, with additional participation from
Formation 8 Partners. Renowned money manager Stanley
Druckenmiller and real estate mogul Harrison LeFrak were among
others completing the round. The new funding will be used to
accelerate the company’s growth. Addepar had raised $16
million in previous funding rounds through investors including
Peter Thiel and Blumberg Capital.
“Given the increasingly complex financial landscape, smart
investment managers are demanding technology that gives them
complete and immediate visibility into their investment
portfolios,” said Eric Poirier, Addepar Chief Executive
Officer. “We’ve built a capability that simply didn’t exist
before. We have more than quadrupled our business this past
year by bringing on some of the most demanding firms in this
market as clients. They are on Addepar because it enables them
to make smart, data-driven investment decisions and to
communicate clearly and continuously with their stakeholders.
The technology handles all data for even the most complex
portfolios and makes interactive analysis and reporting
intuitive and scalable so that investment managers can focus
on adding lasting value to their clients.”
“Addepar brings Silicon Valley innovation to a massive set of challenges faced by the financial services industry,” said incoming investor and Yammer CEO David O. Sacks. “The global financial markets have become exponentially more complex in the last 20 years, yet financial technology has virtually stood still. There is an enormous gap between what the industry needs and what legacy products can deliver. As an Addepar user, I know first-hand how unique the product is, and I see an extraordinary opportunity to disrupt the industry with this technology.”
Joseph Piazza, Chairman and CEO of Robertson Stephens, LLC and an Addepar customer said, “Addepar gives us a technology platform that lets us do what we do best. They provide complete and customized performance reporting and analysis to each client.
