Moment, a fintech startup founded by former quantitative traders from Citadel Securities, has raised $78 million in funding led by Index Ventures to create an AI agent infrastructure tailored for wealth management. The company, which previously raised $36 million in July 2025, is already partnered with major firms like Edward Jones and LPL Financial, which manage trillions in client assets. Moment's approach focuses on building a regulatory-compliant infrastructure to enable safe deployment of AI agents for trading, distinguishing itself from firms like Anthropic that provide the AI reasoning models. CEO Dylan Parker emphasized the need for a robust operating system that integrates seamlessly with existing market data and regulatory requirements. The initiative positions Moment at the forefront of AI adoption in institutional finance, where proper infrastructure is crucial for effective implementation.
