Personal finance app Monarch raises $75 million

Personal finance app Monarch raises  million
SHARE

Monarch, a personal finance startup based in San Francisco, has recently secured a significant $75 million in funding to fuel its rapid subscriber growth. The company experienced a surge in users following the closure of the popular budgeting tool Mint, which had been acquired by Intuit in 2009 and subsequently shut down in early 2024.

The Series B funding round, led by Forerunner Ventures and FPV Ventures, values Monarch at $850 million. Co-founder Val Agostino explained that the company’s goal is to offer a comprehensive mobile app that allows users to track their spending, investments, and financial goals all in one place. This approach fills a gap in the market left by the demise of Mint, which had long been a dominant player in the online personal finance space.

Agostino emphasized that managing money remains a significant challenge for many Americans, with traditional methods of financial management dating back to the late 90s. Monarch saw a 20-fold increase in its subscriber base in the year following Mint’s closure as users sought out alternative solutions.

Unlike Mint, which operated on a free model supported by advertising and user data sales, Monarch relies on paid subscribers to sustain its business. This approach allows the company to prioritize user experience and avoid the pitfalls of relying on third-party revenue streams.

The startup distinguishes itself by focusing on user-friendly onboarding processes and intuitive expense tracking features. Wesley Chan, co-founder of FPV Ventures, drew parallels between Monarch and successful investments like Canva, noting that Agostino’s innovative approach to financial planning sets the company apart in a crowded market.

Despite a generally cautious investment climate for consumer-focused fintech companies, Monarch’s successful funding round stands out as a testament to its unique value proposition. The broader fintech sector faced a decline in venture funding in the first quarter of the year, with a shift towards enterprise-focused solutions. However, Monarch’s ability to attract significant investment underscores its potential for growth and disruption in the personal finance space.

As the company continues to expand its user base and enhance its product offerings, Monarch represents a promising player in the evolving landscape of consumer fintech. With a focus on user experience, data privacy, and financial empowerment, Monarch is well-positioned to make a lasting impact in the industry.
