(firmenpresse) - LOS ALTOS, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 10/03/13 -- Jemstep(), the online investment advisor that helps people lock in more money for retirement, today announced that the company has raised an additional $4.5 million in a follow-on to its Series A funding. The funding is from existing investors as well as new investor, Caleo Capital, an international private wealth advisory company. This brings total funds raised to $15 million which will be used to expand distribution, enhance the service, and make key new hires.
"Jemstep's goal is to help self-managed investors make the most from their savings for retirement," said Simon Roy, President of Jemstep. "In the last 8 months, Jemstep has identified over $1 billion in additional funds for retirement that users are leaving on the table. Jemstep's easy-to-use online portfolio management service guides users to institutional-class advice to help them earn more on their retirement savings, reduce costly fees, and save on taxes."
Jemstep has hired 17-year Silicon Valley startup veteran Mark Richards to lead product management. Richards co-founded NetMind, which sold to Intellisync (Nokia) for $800 million. He was also VP of Marketing for Aeroprise, which was acquired by BMC, and VP of Product Marketing at Intellisync. Most recently, Richards was with Sand Hill Partners, where he helped numerous technology startups launch strong products with successful business models.
