Startup WealthMore democratizes financial advice
A first-generation American, Philly resident Mical Jeanlys-White saw a “missed opportunity” as she grew up — her parents were good with money, but lacked access to information about investing.
That led to her launching WealthMore, a tech platform that provides young adults with access to wealth advisors and financial planning. Users can meet with wealth advisors one on one, and also join virtual communities of people with similar identities to make it easier to hit wealth goals.
