Quartz Closes £2.8M Pre-Seed to Consolidate UK Wealth Management

Quartz, a London-based wealth platform, has raised £2.8 million in pre-seed funding. The round was led by Daphni and included participation from Outward VC, Kfund, Gilles BianRosa, and Philippe Gelis. The funding was announced on September 16, 2026.

What Quartz Does

Quartz brings pensions, ISAs, savings, and investment accounts into a single app through proprietary aggregation connectors. The consolidated view is paired with Charlie, an AI assistant that surfaces personalised insights and answers questions about the portfolio.

The company targets the gap between costly personalised advice and standardised low-guidance products. Quartz is registered with the UK Financial Conduct Authority as an account information service provider.

Team and Traction

Quartz was founded in 2025 by André Silva, previously head of global expansion at Revolut, and Mateus Mesquita Alves, formerly investment product lead at N26. A 10-person team works across London, Barcelona, and Porto. During pre-launch testing, more than £10 million of member assets was tracked on the platform.

Acquisition Perspective

Quartz operates in the UK wealth management space, where fragmentation across pensions, ISAs, and investment accounts creates friction for consumers. Its proprietary aggregation connectors and AI assistant, Charlie, offer a unified experience that could appeal to incumbents seeking modern, digital-first front ends. The founding team's experience at Revolut and N26, combined with FCA registration and early asset tracking, positions Quartz as an early-stage asset with a clear regulatory and product foundation. The pre-seed round, led by Daphni with backing from Outward VC, Kfund, and angel investors, provides capital to develop the platform further.
