The final quarter of 2025 marked a period of significant expansion and strategic shifts within the US WealthTech sector. Deal activity witnessed a substantial year-over-year increase, with Nevada emerging as a prominent hub for innovation and investment. This growth was underscored by a major funding round for Range, an AI-powered wealth management platform, signifying robust confidence in the market’s future.
US WealthTech Experiences Robust Deal Activity and Stabilized Funding
The WealthTech market in the US showcased considerable strength between late 2024 and late 2025. Q4 2025 saw a notable surge in transaction volumes, reaching 99 deals—a remarkable 27% increase compared to the 78 deals recorded in Q4 2024. While deal activity accelerated, overall funding also saw a modest uptick, with companies securing $936.4 million. This represented a 2% rise from the $921.2 million raised in the same period a year prior.
Sequentially, funding improved from $887.8 million in Q3 2025 to Q4 levels, though deal volume experienced a slight dip from 107 transactions. These figures collectively suggest a gradual stabilization of capital deployment, characterized by steady funding levels and a strong recovery in transaction activity over the preceding year.
Nevada Rises as a Key WealthTech Powerhouse
Geographically, Q4 2025 saw California maintain its leading position as the primary WealthTech center. The Golden State accounted for 33 deals, representing a 33% market share and an impressive 83% increase from 18 deals in Q4 2024. However, the most significant shift was the ascendance of Nevada, which secured 13 deals (13% share) to become the second most active market in the country. This marked Nevada’s entry into the top rankings, signaling a healthy diversification of WealthTech investment beyond traditional hubs.
In contrast, New York recorded 10 deals (10% share), a 33% decrease from its 15 deals in Q4 2024. Illinois, which previously held a significant presence with 7 deals, fell out of the top three. Despite varied performances at the state level, California significantly strengthened its market share and deal count, reaffirming its role as the core hub of US WealthTech investment, while Nevada’s growth highlights an expanding landscape for innovation.
Range Secures $60M Series C to Propel AI-Powered Wealth Management
One of the quarter’s most substantial deals involved Range, an AI-powered wealth management platform dedicated to providing automated, institutional-grade financial planning to US consumers. The company successfully closed a $60 million Series C funding round, bringing its total capital raised to over $100 million.
The funding round was spearheaded by Scale Venture Partners, with additional participation from Gradient Ventures, Cathay Innovation, and 53 Stations. This capital injection is earmarked to accelerate hiring across critical functions such as AI, product development, and go-to-market strategies. It will also facilitate the expansion of enterprise partnerships and enhance Range’s AI wealth assistant, Rai, by introducing predictive planning and proactive tax optimization capabilities.
Range addresses a massive underserved market; despite the US wealth management industry overseeing more than $90 trillion in assets, historically only 1% of Americans have engaged with a financial advisor. By leveraging lower-cost, AI-driven planning, Range aims to make sophisticated financial advice accessible to a broader consumer base.
The company currently manages $400 million in Assets Under Management (AUM) and $9.5 billion in Assets Under Administration (AUA) for over 5,000 high-net-worth clients across all 50 states. It has achieved a remarkable 300% year-over-year revenue growth. Rai, Range’s AI assistant, now handles thousands of financial inquiries monthly, significantly reducing the volume of messages directed to human advisors by 50%. Looking ahead, Range plans to develop additional AI agents focusing on compliance, tax optimization, and investment guidance, while also preparing for expansion into broker-dealer services and scaling its West Coast operations.
