Endeavor Entrepreneur Jason Wenk, founder of Altruist, just announced a $169M Series E round, putting its valuation north of $1.5B and reaching unicorn status! ?? But, where did this billion-dollar vision come from? Jason grew up in a small town in rural Michigan raised by a single mother who, despite working incredibly hard, lacked access to financial guidance.?? Early on, he decided he wanted to help people get more from their money. ?? Jason founded three ventures before Altruist but always faced the limits imposed by legacy technology. ?? He had a choice. He could continue running a commercially successful business or take a stab at revolutionizing the wealth management’s operating system. ??? He took a stab at it. And now he is on a mission to make independent financial advice better, more affordable, and accessible to everyone. ?? ??Read about his 20-year journey here: https://lnkd.in/dstyK7Yn #entrepreneurship #unicorn #venturecapital
