Grantd, an AI-powered equity compensation planning platform, has secured strategic funding from Edward Jones Ventures and TIFIN Studios to expand its next-generation platform. With over $4 trillion in equity compensation often left unmanaged, Grantd enables financial advisors to transform this complex benefit into actionable wealth. The funding will accelerate platform enhancements, including automated grant uploads, instant modeling, proactive alerts, and streamlined client reporting. By combining public and private market data, tax-aware modeling, and scenario planning, Grantd empowers advisors to deliver more proactive, transparent, and data-driven guidance. The new platform is expected to launch this fall, marking a major step forward in making equity compensation a mainstream driver of wealth creation.

DENVER, Sept. 3, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Grantd, the leading AI-powered equity compensation planning platform, today announced strategic funding secured for the continued development of its next-generation platform. With over $4 trillion in equity compensation often left unmanaged, Grantd empowers financial advisors to turn this complex, overlooked benefit into actionable wealth. This investment was led by Edward Jones Ventures with participation from TIFIN Studios, and will accelerate the rollout of Grantd's enhanced platform, highlighting growing industry confidence in equity compensation as a mainstream wealth driver.

"Edward Jones is committed to investing in technology that drives meaningful value creation for clients, financial advisors, and the industry, and equity compensation represents an underutilized source of wealth for many people," said Greg Robinson, Principal, Edward Jones. "We are constantly seeking solutions that help us serve more clients more completely, partnering with them to achieve financial fulfillment."

After years in employee benefits, we saw a need for advisors to guide clients through the complexities of equity compensation. Grantd's mission is to turn this misunderstood, underutilized asset into actionable, wealth-building opportunities. This funding helps us advance that vision.

The funding will enable Grantd to further develop its AI-powered platform, which combines both public and private market data, tax-aware modeling, and scenario planning to provide actionable guidance for advisors and employees with equity compensation. Users can expect a highly intuitive interface that surfaces key insights, tracks client equity across grants, and identifies optimal opportunities for exercising, diversifying, or planning around taxes—all designed to make complex equity compensation transparent and actionable. Features include grant upload automation, instant modeling of equity grants, proactive alerts for exercise and diversification windows, and client-ready reports at a click. The investment also supports enhancements to reporting, alerts, and client communication tools, which will streamline advisor workflows and provide proactive, data-driven advice.

"Equity compensation is too big to ignore—it's where wealth is being built today. The Grantd team has the right expertise and experience to shape the future of how workplace wealth creation and enterprise wealth management converge," said Vinay Nair, Founder and CEO of TIFIN. Grantd has partnered with TIFIN Studios, TIFIN's incubation arm, which enables seasoned executives to launch fintech companies for asset, wealth, and insurance firms. TIFIN Studios equips mission-driven entrepreneurs with product, go-to-market, and capital support to fill gaps in the ecosystem towards better wealth outcomes for more individuals.

Brian McDonald, Founder and CEO of Grantd, said: "After years in and around employee benefits, we recognized a pressing need for advisors to guide clients through the complexities of equity compensation. Our mission is to transform this misunderstood and underutilized asset into actionable, wealth-building opportunities. This funding helps us advance that vision and deliver even greater value to advisors and their clients."

The new funding will enable Grantd to expand its AI-driven capabilities, equipping advisors to serve the growing number of employees building wealth through equity compensation. The Grantd team expects to work closely with Edward Jones financial advisors, as Grantd develops the new platform to ensure it meets the needs of both advisors and their clients. Grantd's new platform is expected to launch this fall.
