Backed by capital from Andreessen Horowitz, Y Combinator, and QED, OpenInvest was founded in 2015 with a core focus on helping advisors unlock the true impact of their clients’ investments.
On June 29, J.P. Morgan announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire OpenInvest. OpenInvest will retain its own brand and be integrated into J.P. Morgan’s Private Bank and Wealth Management client offerings.
