For centuries, human minds have strained against the stochastic churn of markets — conjuring theories, rituals, and models, forever chasing the vanishing point of certainty. The paradigms evolved: from intuition, to rules, to algorithms. Yet each remained tethered to its human architects, bounded by bias, fragile assumptions, and the limits of finite cognition. Autonomous is our step beyond that boundary.
Today, we're announcing Autonomous and our $16M raise, backed by Garry Tan at Y Combinator, Box Group, and Collaborative Fund.
An AI-native wealth manager that brings the tools, disciplines, and risk frameworks of billion-dollar family offices to everyone, at 0% advisory fees. A full-stack strategist that runs the billionaire playbook for ordinary investors.
Sees everything and understands it
Connect all your accounts, including messy off-platform assets like rental properties, SPVs, and startup equity. Autonomous builds a live view of your assets, liabilities, cash flow, and taxes. It knows where you're concentrated, where you're wasting tax capacity, where cash is idle.
Conversational intelligence
Talk to Autonomous 24/7 about any financial decision. "Should I max out my 401k or pay down my mortgage?" "How does this job offer change my strategy?" Get answers, explore tradeoffs, execute instantly. No quarterly calls.
Personalized direct indexing
Instead of generic ETFs, Autonomous builds a direct index optimized for your income, tax bracket, time horizon, and goals. This is how the ultra-wealthy invest: portfolios optimized at the individual security level. You refine through conversation, it deploys intelligently.
Continuous optimization
Autonomous monitors everything continuously, alerting you to what matters: tax-loss harvesting opportunities, rebalancing needs, cash deployment timing, risk adjustments. It actually runs the playbook that wealth managers promise but never execute.
Custom exposures, not stock picking
On top of your core plan, you can add targeted strategies if you want to be more hands-on. Want targeted exposure to AI? Autonomous maps the ecosystem, builds a custom sleeve sized by volatility and fundamentals, accounts for correlations with your existing positions, and manages it inside your broader plan. AI agents design and implement it.
Why now.
Millions already ask ChatGPT and Claude about their finances. There's no apply button. It doesn't run continuously. The technology finally exists to change that.
Wealth management generates roughly $250B per year in advisory revenue, human intermediaries extracting massive fees without creating proportional value. Entrenched, expensive, structurally misaligned. We're here to change that.
