The US WealthTech sector experienced a robust 27% year-over-year growth in deal activity during the fourth quarter of 2025. This positive trend indicates a stronger momentum since late 2024, although the funding levels show mixed results across various transactions.

While funding showed growth sequentially from $887.8 million in Q3 2025 to the fourth quarter, the total number of deals slightly decreased from 107 in the preceding quarter.
Nevada Emerges as a Growing WealthTech Hub
Geographically, California retained its status as the predominant WealthTech center, achieving 33 deals, equivalent to a 33% market share. This surge represents an impressive 83% increase from the 18 deals reported in Q4 2024. Meanwhile, Nevada made notable strides by securing 13 deals, capturing a 13% share of the nationwide market, and demonstrating a diversification of activity across states. New York, by contrast, observed a decline, finishing with 10 deals, a 33% drop from the previous year.
Range Leads Notable Funding Round in WealthTech
Among the noteworthy developments, Range, an artificial intelligence (AI)-driven wealth management platform, completed an impressive $60 million Series C funding round. This financing was led by Scale Venture Partners with participation from Gradient Ventures, Cathay Innovation, and 53 Stations. This new capital elevates Range’s total funding to over $100 million, enhancing its capability to target underserved markets.
Focus on Enhancing AI Capabilities and Market Reach
The funds raised will empower Range to expand its workforce across AI, product development, and market strategies. The company aims to enhance its AI wealth assistant, Rai, adding features for predictive planning and proactive tax optimization. Given that the US wealth management industry oversees over $90 trillion in assets, Range’s focus on affordable AI-driven financial planning seeks to reach the 99% of Americans who traditionally do not engage with a financial advisor.
Promising Growth Metrics for Range in the WealthTech Space
Currently, Range manages $400 million in assets under management (AUM) and boasts approximately $9.5 billion in assets under advisement (AUA) across a client base of over 5,000 high-net-worth individuals nationwide. The platform has also reported an impressive 300% year-on-year revenue growth. Its AI assistant, Rai, is increasingly adept at managing a multitude of financial inquiries, successfully reducing reliance on human advisors by 50%.
Plans for Future Development and Market Expansion
Furthermore, Range is in the process of developing additional AI agents that will focus on compliance, tax optimization, and investment advice. The company is also preparing to enhance its broker-dealer services while expanding its footprint in the West Coast market. These initiatives signal a robust commitment to innovation and growth within the rapidly evolving WealthTech landscape.
