The story

Founded in 2018 by Wharton/MIT professor Vinay Nair, TIFIN operates as an AI-powered fintech portfolio company, incubating and scaling multiple fintech brands targeting the wealth and asset management ecosystem. Rather than a single product, TIFIN combines investment intelligence, data science, and technology to build or acquire distinct fintech companies serving advisors, asset managers, and employees. The @Work product represents a push into workplace financial wellness, partnering with institutional asset managers like Franklin Templeton to deliver personalized financial guidance to employees.
