Moby Raises $5M Seed Round to Deliver AI-Powered Investing Insights

NEW YORK, Sept. 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Moby, the platform democratizing Wall Street-level investing insights, today announced it has closed a $5 million seed round at a $30M valuation, led by IA Capital Group, with participation from Alumni Ventures and prominent angel investors including former c-suite executives from Morgan Stanley, Fidelity, Cash App, Tifin, and Wunderkind.

The funding will accelerate Moby's momentum. In addition to 600% growth in paid subscribers over the past year, a now 100+ million quarterly views across platforms, and nearly 100K monthly app users, Moby's freemium product has grown to 300K subscribers (targeting 500K by year-end and 1M+ in 2026).

Retail investors can trade commission-free all day long, but they're still making decisions with consumer-grade information while institutions have access to research and data that costs millions. It's like bringing a calculator to a supercomputer fight. That's why Moby is building a proprietary AI engine — one that ingests the same data sources used by top institutions and transforms them into clear, accessible insights that empower everyday investors to make smarter decisions.

And instead of a gamified trading app with virtual confetti, Moby users are getting up-to-the-minute analysis tailored to their investment goals. What they see throughout the day is the kind of content that sounds like their best friend in finance had a personality.

"We spent years on Wall Street watching regular people make investment decisions based on headlines and hot tips," said Justin Kramer, Moby's co-founder. "Meanwhile, we had teams of researchers, real-time data feeds, and sophisticated models. That seemed fundamentally unfair."

"The retail investing space is full of either oversimplified robo-advice or completely overwhelming data dumps," added co-founder Dan Remstein. "We're building the middle path: sophisticated insights delivered in a way that respects people's time and intelligence."

"The March 2025 NBER/NYU study revealed that retail investors spend just six minutes researching a stock before buying —time that's too often spent on price charts, not fundamentals. Moby is flipping that script with institutional-grade insights that empower smarter decisions, and their explosive growth proves the demand. We're excited to back Justin, Dan, and the Moby team as they reshape how retail investors make decisions." — Ravi Shah, Principal at IA Capital Group

The fresh funding will accelerate hiring, power the development of its next-generation mobile platform, enhance AI-driven analytics, and fuel strategic partnerships to expand Moby's reach.
