Our Company

Ellevest is a well-funded startup in NYC, poised to be the leading digital investment platform for women. We started the company to solve a problem — for all the attention paid to the gender pay gap, there’s also a gender investing gap that can cost women even more over the course of their lives. That means building a technology-based investing service around women’s longer lifespans, different salary curves, and research-based behavioral differences. Led by Sallie Krawcheck, former head of Smith Barney and Merrill Lynch, and with investors including Khosla Ventures, Morningstar, and Venus Williams, we’re growing and always looking for great people to join our diverse team.
