The story
Compound launched in 2022 as a digital family office specifically targeting startup founders and employees who needed help managing complex personal finances (equity compensation, AMT, private investments). The platform combines wealth tracking, tax optimization, and investment advisory in one dashboard. By 2025, Compound expanded from pure advisory into tax filing (powered by April), deepening its embedded finance stack toward a full personal financial OS for the tech professional segment.
