Light Frame secures US$5.1 million seed round led by Fortino Ventures
The Swiss-American startup says the money will support investment in its platform and commercial team growth across EMEA.
Fortino Ventures has led a US$5.1 million seed round for Light Frame, a Swiss-American startup building software for the wealth management industry. Light Frame said it will put the proceeds towards its platform and expanding its commercial team across EMEA.
The round also drew investment from AltaIR Capital, Chamaeleon, Sidekick Partners and Tenity. Returning investors included Studio Alpha, New Stack Ventures and Rogue Venture Partners. An earlier pre-seed round brought in US$1.7 million in 2024.
Established in 2024 by people who had worked at Alpian, the Swiss digital private bank, Light Frame develops core banking software and portfolio management tools for asset managers, private banks and wealth managers. Its co-founder and chief executive, Schuyler Weiss, previously headed Alpian.
The company says its cloud-based, API-enabled platform lets wealth managers oversee clients’ assets and investment portfolios and handle corporate and investment transactions. The modular technology allows firms to modernise individual elements of their current systems or adopt the platform as a whole.
