Not to be missed:
Founded by former fintech startup colleagues, Luk and Allen, Plenty was born out of personal experience and a clear market gap. The founders saw an unmet need in requests for financial planning for couples, especially among millennials planning to get married in their 30s.
In a bold move against patriarchal norms built into existing financial infrastructures, co-founder Emily Luk said, “Existing institutions have taken for granted this very patriarchal assumption that one person in a relationship manages money.” Plenty aims to shift this paradigm.
Backed by investors like Capital Inovia, Garage capital, Otherwise Fund, Interaction, The Phenomenal Feats of Meena Harris AND Kevin Durant’s 35 feats, Plenty officially unveils its platform. The platform, in stark contrast to traditional apps, allows both partners to have separate and joint accounts, even with separation protocols ready.
In addition to the usual cash management, investing, budgeting and forecasting services, Plenty also plans to launch additional offerings, such as joint credit cards for couples.
CEO Emily Luk, along with CTO Allen, has ambitious plans for Plenty: to become “the primary place a couple manages their money.” Luk, influenced by her tenure at Stripe and research into women’s financial engagement, is eager to make financial management more transparent and accessible.
Considering demographics, millennials who marry later in life often face unique financial challenges. With “Plenty”, these couples now have a tailor-made solution for managing their finances, breaking traditional views on money management. By addressing patriarchal assumptions in financial planning, Plenty paves the way for a more inclusive and equitable system.
