In this episode of the Growth Capital Podcast, host Justin Dixon sits down with Alexander Harmsen, Founder & CEO of PortfolioPilot, to explore how AI is disrupting the financial advisory industry and reshaping how people invest, plan, and build confidence in their financial future. Originally built as a personal side project after exiting his first company, PortfolioPilot has since grown to manage $30B in assets across 30,000+ usersโ€”all with a lean team of just 9 people and a bold vision to make high-quality, personalized advice accessible to everyone. ๐Ÿ’ก In this episode, youโ€™ll learn:

  • Why AI-native financial tools are moving beyond robo-advisors
  • How PortfolioPilot is reframing advice from money management to financial coaching
  • Why trust, transparency, and velocity are core to building in fintech
  • The generational shift redefining expectations in wealth planning
  • How velocity (weekly shipping) creates product-market momentum
