Our mission is to redesign what it means to build long-term wealth.
We started Raise Financial with the goal of helping the average American with their long-term financial well-being. That's why we're here, nothing more, nothing less.

The Raise Manifesto
We offer financial solutions that align with the best interests of our customers. We’re building genuinely innovative products that serve young Americans where they’re at today.
Today's unique economic forces are preventing young Americans from being able to build long-term wealth. The average U.S. household has over $90,000 in debt. Buying a house, traditionally the most common way to build wealth, is more and more out of reach as home prices have more-than-doubled in the last 20 years. Wages have barely kept pace with inflation over the last 50 years, despite massive gains in productivity from the dawn of the Internet era. And $1.75T in student loan debt is forcing people to choose between their future plans or paying down insurmountable debt.
Unfortunately, today's financial solutions aren't stepping up to meet the needs of today's young Americans either. While online banks and financial services have increased access to global markets, it isn't making a material difference in the ability for current generations to build wealth. This difference is even starker with traditionally disadvantaged communities such as people of color and recent immigrants. Dishonest business models such as "buy now, pay later", "payment for order flow", hidden fees, and exorbitant interest rates take advantage of the average person who's simply unaware of what they’re getting into. The American Dream has become today’s economic nightmare.
We propose a fundamentally different way of building wealth by using the most powerful economic engine in human history - the U.S. stock market - to bootstrap people to where they're supposed to be. Our mission may be to redesign long-term wealth, but our goal is to demonstrate that financial services need not take advantage of the very customers they serve, in order to prosper.
