The Advisor Gap

Traditional financial advisors typically require $500K or more in investable assets, leaving the vast majority of Americans without access to professional investment guidance. In Brazil, every brokerage account is paired with an advisor — a model that inspired Astor's founders to close this gap using AI. Astor is an SEC-registered, AI-native investment advisory platform that connects to users' existing brokerage accounts and delivers personalized recommendations through conversational AI via text chat and voice calls.

What They're Building

Astor evaluates users' holdings across performance, risk, and diversification — all under fiduciary duty. Built on a multi-agent architecture using Anthropic models, the platform provides institutional-grade analysis to retail investors at a fraction of the traditional cost. Co-founder Bruno Koba personally obtained a Series 65 advisor license to ensure full regulatory compliance.

Traction

Astor has attracted approximately 4,000 active users and connected over $200M in brokerage assets. The company raised a $5M seed round and offers two subscription tiers: a $15/month basic plan and a $40/month pro plan for deeper portfolio analysis and advisory features.
