Riskalyze

Riskalyze is a financial technology company that provides software as a service to financial advisors in the United States. Riskalyze's platform provides tools for analyzing investment risk, delivering 401(k) plans, and building and implementing investment portfolios.

Riskalyze invented the Risk Number, an alignment tool for financial advisors to quantitatively measure investor risk tolerance, risk capacity, and portfolio risk on a scale from 1 to 99.

History
Co-founders Aaron Klein (Chief Executive Officer), Mike McDaniel (Chief Investment Officer), and Matt Pistone (Chief Technology Officer) founded the company in 2011. Riskalyze was initially a free consumer product, but became a tool licensed to financial advisors after a shift in the business model.

In 2016, Riskalyze raised Series-A institutional funding of $20 million from FTV Capital, and was then recapitalized by Hg in 2021. Riskalyze was recognized by Fast Company on its list of The World’s Top 10 Most Innovative Companies in Finance 2013 and The World’s Top 10 Most Innovative Companies in Personal Finance 2015. Forbes recognized Riskalyze on its Fintech 50 list in 2015 and 2016.
