Pocketnest, a Detroit, Michigan-based female-founded financial wellness platform, announced that it raised $2.6 million raised from a round led by Reseda Group.
Marking nearly $5M raised to date, the funds will drive product development, sales, and marketing initiatives, and support a 24-month runway. The company has plans to expand its sales and marketing teams in 2023.
"Even in this volatile market, we were able to secure $2.6M of capital in 10 days—a true testament to the value of our platform and the potential it represents for our clients, investors, and most of all, end users," said Jessica Willis, CEO, and founder, of Pocketnest. "Our scrappy, elbow-grease approach drives our consistent 'hockey-stick' growth while sustaining a very generous runway."
Pocketnest licenses its platform to financial institutions to boost their cross-sell opportunities; it also licenses employee wellness programs to help employers boost recruitment, productivity, and retention.
Built on behavioral science and psychology, Pocketnest coaches users through 10 themes of financial wellness. Its gamified, almost-addictive approach draws users into the app to keep their financial plan up to date—in just three minutes a week.
