This morning, I am thrilled to announce that Arca has officially emerged from stealth with $64 million in funding across our seed and Series A from @generalcatalyst , @IndexVentures , and @Venrock .
I started Arca because of a simple contradiction: the best wealth management is deeply personal, yet the industry becomes less personal as it scales.
We know great financial advisors don't just manage portfolios – they help clients navigate life's biggest, most emotional decisions. But most advisors are buried in administrative work, fragmented systems, and inefficient manual workflows, preventing them from doing their best work for their clients.
We believe more people deserve personalized, proactive and efficient wealth management. And advisors deserve to focus on what they do best: delivering great financial advice to their clients.
That's why Arca was born.
Arca is an AI-native wealth management company that is redefining how financial advice is delivered by pairing great financial advisors with a fully integrated, agentic platform. We’re building agents from scratch across every part of the business, creating an evolving and compounding system that learns from and operates itself, and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in one of the largest industries in the world.
We're empowering advisors to do what only humans can do: cultivate trust and relationships, understand the full complexity of someone’s financial life, and make every client feel deeply seen and heard.
Thank you to our fantastic team for joining this journey; we would not be here without your efforts. We're building one of the most talent dense teams in NYC, and we're hiring across the board.
To our investors and board/advisors, I'm grateful for your belief and support in Arca and our vision of working tirelessly to enable better financial outcomes for people.

@RykerClothing Would 94% merino with 6% elastane hold up durability wise or would a barbell shred them?
English

@twitrhandle If you want something truly "skin tight" is going to be hard to go 100% natural (which we'd like to do)
Merino has a lot of stretch, but it would struggle to keep a "skin tight" shape without 3-6% elastane.
We've contemplated doing this for women's clothes, but not sure!

@garrett_ryker_ @RykerClothing That sweater is definitely 100% polyester 😜

@twitrhandle Some GE model, not sure. It came with the house :)

@garykoepnick No you shouldn’t take them seriously because you quoted a parody account

And you still want to take these people seriously?
We’re just going to stand by while they talk about obliterating the FBI and DOJ?

Should we hire some of the January 6th Political Prisoners to help us gut & obliterate the FBI & the DOJ?

@SahilBloom Why the mix of whole and skim milk rather than using only 2%?
English

I got asked for my best pieces of career advice.
9 things I wish I knew when I was starting out:
1. "Swallow the Frog"
This is one of the greatest "hacks" to get ahead early in your career. Observe your boss, figure out what they hate doing, learn to do it, and take it off their plate. Easy win.
2. Do the old fashioned things well.
Look people in the eye, do what you say you'll do, be early, practice good posture, have a confident handshake. It sounds silly, but these things are all free and will never go out of style.
3. Work hard first and smart later.
It's trendy to say that working smart is all that matters. Wrong. If you want to accomplish anything significant, you have to work hard. Work hard early—take pride in it. Then you can start to build leverage to work smart.
4. Don't do your best.
Do your best is bad advice early in your career. Don't do your best, do what is necessary. Do what it takes to win.
5. Build storytelling skills.
World-changing CEOs aren't the smartest in their orgs. They are exceptional at: (1) Aggregating data and (2) Communicating it simply & effectively. Data in, story out. Build that skill and you'll always be valuable.
6. Establish a reputation for figuring it out:
Early on, you'll be given a lot of tasks you have no idea how to complete. There's nothing more valuable than someone who can just figure it out. Do some work, ask key questions, get it done. People will fight over you.
7. Dive through every cracked door.
If someone cracks open a door that may present an opportunity, dive through it.
8. Build a personal board of advisors.
The concept of “mentorship” has become too formal. Asking someone to be your mentor feels like a big commitment. Instead, build a Personal Board of Advisors. A diverse group of 5-10 people you can go to for questions, advice, or feedback.
9. Prioritize people and experience, not salary.
A 10x better foundation-building experience compounds much more effectively than that extra $5K in salary. You should be compensated fairly, but not all compensation is monetary. Think long-term. Build the strongest foundation.

@petergyang @ShaanVP Selflessness or unselfishness for sure, not selfishness
English

We had an exec offsite for Twitch, and the consultant made us (everyone, CEO, COO, etc..) play this "Trust" game.
She divided the room into 4 areas.
There's a "trust equation" which says there are 4 variables that create trust between people.
1. Credibility - "I can trust what you say"
2. Reliability - "I can trust you to show up"
3. Intimacy - "I can trust I can be open with you"
4. Selfishness- "I trust you will care about me and not just yourself"
We started in the middle, then everyone had to walk to the ONE area that was most important for them with trust.
I thought it was obvious, but the room was split.
Which # would you have walked to?

@awilkinson I run a family business alongside my dad in foodservice distribution. Like a local Sysco or GFS. Near 9 figure annual revenue, 70 employees, tight margins. Would love to take you for breakfast or lunch.

@aishakadon @SpaceLord_5020 @Be_a_Goldfish_ @moonbirds_xyz The 0.1eth was to win 1 of 3 moonbirds. Once the DA was cancelled and moved to a raffle, you had to register with 2.5eth.
English

@SpaceLord_5020 @Be_a_Goldfish_ @moonbirds_xyz It's not just about 0.1 eth being mentioned on the premint platform.
The platform validates by checking your metamask if the criteria of the minimum eth is met or not.
I registered with 0.34 eth and i have an email from premint proving that I was successfully registered.
