Gyde, a next-generation, AI-native brokerage platform, has officially launched with $60 million in funding, marking a significant step in transforming how financial and insurance professionals guide clients through life’s most critical decisions. Headquartered in Austin, Texas, the company aims to empower a new generation of elite brokers by integrating advanced artificial intelligence into every stage of client advisory. The funding round was led by Lightspeed, a global venture capital firm with a strong track record in fintech and digital transformation. Additional investors include Optum Ventures, Crystal Venture Partners, Virtue, MVP Ventures, and several prominent endowment funds. The capital will be used to accelerate product development, expand the team, and scale operations across insurance, health, and wealth management services. Gyde’s platform is designed from the ground up as an AI-native solution, enabling brokers to deliver personalized, data-driven advice with greater speed and precision. By leveraging machine learning and natural language processing, the platform helps brokers analyze complex client needs, recommend tailored financial strategies, and streamline administrative tasks—freeing them to focus on building deeper client relationships. The company enters a rapidly evolving market where traditional brokerage models are being reshaped by technology. With rising demand for holistic financial guidance and increasing complexity in insurance and healthcare planning, Gyde aims to become the essential digital partner for independent advisors and wealth professionals. Founders of Gyde bring deep expertise from finance, technology, and healthcare sectors, combining a mission-driven focus with a commitment to innovation. Their vision is to create a more equitable, efficient, and human-centered financial advisory ecosystem—where technology enhances, rather than replaces, the value of trusted professional guidance.
