London-based fintech startup Quartz has raised £2.75 million in pre-seed funding to introduce its AI-powered personal finance platform to the UK market. The investment round was led by Daphni, with additional contributions from Outward VC, K Fund, Kantox co-founder Philippe Gelis, and Gilles BianRosa, a former chief product officer at N26 and Kraken.
Quartz aims to bridge the gap between costly traditional wealth management and generic financial products by offering customized financial guidance to a large population of consumers who currently lack access to bespoke advice. The company, founded in 2025 and led by André Silva and Mateus Mesquita Alves, comprises a small team of ten across London, Barcelona, and Porto.
Quartz operates as an Account Information Service Provider, registered with the Financial Conduct Authority, allowing the platform to seamlessly connect to users' accounts and compile their pensions, ISAs, savings, and investments into a unified mobile dashboard. The embedded AI assistant, named Charlie, assesses user portfolios in conjunction with live market information, delivering personalized insights to help users manage their finances more effectively.
Quartz successfully tested the platform with users in the first quarter of 2026, with members managing over £10 million in assets through the application. Following its UK launch, Quartz is planning to onboard additional waitlist users in batches through the App Store and Google Play.
