Toronto-based fintech Wealthsimple has acquired the team behind San Francisco wealth platform Plenty. Co-founders Emily Luk and Channing Allen will join Wealthsimple’s product and engineering teams, respectively, along with three software developers. Founded in 2021, Plenty helped couples manage finances, including tools for budgeting, joint accounts, and even breakups.
The startup, backed by Inovia Capital, raised nearly $11M CAD and will shut down May 10. Wealthsimple says the team’s experience will enhance its offerings for families and couples. Luk previously held leadership roles at Stripe and Even, while Allen served as technical lead at Even.
