Our take

Owning and liquidating equity can be a game-changer for business owners and individuals, but it is also complex, and effective financial advice on the topic can be hard to come by. Harness Wealth solves this problem by acting as a matchmaker between investors and advisors.

The company sets itself apart by catering specifically to younger clients whose financial situations have become more complex, and who don't have connections with financial service providers. Harness allows these clients to meet a range of advisors, ranging from independent RIAs to big-name firms such as First Republic Bank.

Part of Harness's appeal is that clients do not need to pay for the service. Instead, the company takes a cut from the revenue they bring to advisors. Harness intends to invest a 2021, $15 million Series A in developing its products, including its own captive business line, Harness Tax.
