About Luminary
Luminary powers how advisors connect their client’s financial assets with generational gifting and philanthropic giving goals.
Some $100 trillion will pass between generations in the decades ahead – and asset owners say they want their advisors to lead them through this process. However, more than 70% of these clients feel there is a large gap between the services they expect and what they are receiving.
At the heart of this disconnect is the lack of integrated technology systems – making delivery of wealth transfer advice and services costly and cumbersome. Luminary’s collaboration platform brings together wealth, legal, and tax advisors to help them deliver a delightful end to end experience to their clients.
Luminary was founded in 2022 and our team has experience driving innovation at industry-leading companies including AllianceBernstein, Blend, ChanZuckerberg, Compass, and Goldman Sachs. We are backed by leading venture capital investors, prominent wealth management firms, and several family offices.
