We are thrilled to announce a major milestone for Point as we have successfully secured seed investment. This new capital injection, alongside our already established revenue streams, will drive the continued development of our Investment Data Intelligence (IDI) platform, specifically designed for wealth and asset managers. This funding is pivotal in enabling us to further our mission of empowering investment managers with the tools they need to make smarter decisions, deeply engage clients, and scale their operations with confidence.
The Power of the Point Platform
Our platform was built from the ground up with a clear vision: to revolutionize how investment managers deal with data. Point leverages decades of combined expertise in building data-first operating models and software tailored to the complex needs of the investment management industry.
Key features of the Point platform include:
- Aggregation: Consolidating complex and disparate investment data into a single source of truth.
- Analysis: Offering sophisticated analytical tools to derive actionable insights for managers at all levels.
- Visualization: Presenting data in intuitive formats that facilitate better decision-making and faster responses.
- Sharing: Ensuring seamless integration and collaboration with third-party tech solutions, enabling flexible operating models.
By addressing core challenges such as siloed technology, data fragmentation, and time-consuming manual processes, Point empowers investment firms to operate more efficiently and respond swiftly to market changes. Our clients have already started to experience the platform’s impact, reporting enhanced decision-making capabilities and improved client engagement.
Looking Ahead: AI and Open Architecture
But this is just the beginning. The coming year will see exciting advancements in our platform. We are heavily investing in AI and open architecture, with two significant developments on the horizon:
-
‘Data-First: AI-Ready’ Capabilities: We are developing an AI assistant and agent that will integrate seamlessly with our existing platform, helping managers automate data processing and derive deeper insights faster than ever before.
-
Open, Data-Sharing Architecture: To ensure smooth operations, we are committed to continuously developing our open architecture, which allows best-in-class third-party technology to plug directly into our clients' workflows. This will support an ecosystem where data can flow freely and be analyzed across platforms, enhancing the overall agility of investment firms.

This remarkable achievement wouldn’t have been possible without the steadfast belief and backing from our investors, including Gautham R., Han Lee, Mark Ransford, Peter Rading, Richard Tudor, Simon Frame, and Karen Heaton, MBA, CIPPE, CIPM.

Why It Matters: A Data-Driven Future
Investment managers today are under growing pressure to deliver more value to their clients while navigating increasingly complex regulatory landscapes. As the industry undergoes a digital transformation, the ability to harness data effectively becomes a critical differentiator. According to industry research, over 70% of organizations see digital transformation as a top priority. However, only a fraction feel adequately prepared to handle the disruptions and demands brought on by these changes. Point is helping to fill that gap.
The importance of data accuracy, seamless integration, and the use of AI in asset management is clearer than ever. Firms are increasingly looking for solutions that simplify their operations while enhancing their capacity for scalable growth and accurate reporting. Point’s platform does just that by aggregating, analyzing, and sharing data in ways that allow managers to focus more on strategy and less on manual, error-prone processes.
What’s Next for Point?
With our funding secured, we are entering an exciting phase of growth. Our goal is to expand our user base, enhance the platform’s AI capabilities, and continue to push the boundaries of what’s possible with investment data intelligence.
