The final quarter of 2025 marked a period of robust expansion within the US WealthTech sector, showcasing a notable increase in deal activity and the emergence of new regional powerhouses. Investment statistics reveal a dynamic landscape characterized by sustained capital deployment and significant transactional growth.
US WealthTech Deal Activity Rises by 27% Year-over-Year
Throughout Q4 2025, the US WealthTech market demonstrated considerable strength, particularly in deal volumes. Companies in the sector collectively secured $936.4 million in funding, a modest 2% rise from the $921.2 million raised in Q4 2024. More impressively, the number of deals surged to 99 transactions, representing a substantial 27% increase compared to the 78 deals recorded in the same period the previous year.
When viewed sequentially, funding levels improved slightly from $887.8 million in Q3 2025, while deal volume experienced a minor decrease from 107 deals. This overall trend points towards a stabilizing environment for capital deployment, with consistent funding levels and a strong recovery in year-over-year transaction activity.
Nevada Emerges as a Key WealthTech Hub, Securing 13% of All Deals
Geographically, California maintained its dominant position as the premier US WealthTech hub in Q4 2025. Companies based in the Golden State closed 33 deals, accounting for 33% of the national total and an impressive 83% increase from the 18 deals (23% share) in Q4 2024. Reinforcing its status, California significantly boosted both its deal count and market share, solidifying its role as the core of US WealthTech investment.
However, the quarter saw a notable shift with Nevada ascending to become the second most active market. With 13 deals, representing a 13% share, Nevada entered the top rankings, signaling a healthy diversification of activity across the country. In contrast, New York recorded 10 deals (10% share), a 33% decline from its 15 deals (19% share) in Q4 2024. Illinois, which previously held a significant position with 7 deals, fell out of the top three in this dynamic quarter.
Range Secures $60M Series C Funding to Advance AI Wealth Management
Highlighting the quarter’s investment landscape was a major funding round completed by Range, an AI-powered wealth management platform. The company successfully raised $60 million in a Series C funding round, positioning it as one of the largest US WealthTech deals of the quarter. This investment was led by Scale Venture Partners, with key participation from Gradient Ventures, Cathay Innovation, and 53 Stations, bringing Range’s total capital raised to over $100 million.
The new capital is earmarked to accelerate hiring across critical functions including 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, with advanced predictive planning and proactive tax optimization capabilities.
Operating within a vast US wealth management industry overseeing more than $90 trillion in assets, Range is strategically targeting the underserved segment of the population. Historically, only about 1% of Americans have engaged with a financial advisor. Range aims to bridge this gap by offering lower-cost, AI-driven financial planning solutions.
The company currently manages $400 million in Assets Under Management (AUM) and $9.5 billion in Assets Under Advisement (AUA) for over 5,000 high-net-worth clients across all 50 states. Demonstrating strong growth, Range has achieved 300% year-over-year revenue expansion. Its AI assistant, Rai, efficiently handles thousands of financial queries each month, significantly reducing the need for human advisor intervention by 50%.
Looking ahead, Range is actively developing additional AI agents focused on compliance, tax optimization, and investment guidance. The company is also preparing for an expansion into broker-dealer services and scaling its operations on the West Coast, further solidifying its innovative approach to wealth management.
