Saturn's $15M Series A with Amal
After sponsor reads, the hosts recall meeting Saturn co-founder Rohit three years ago, then Amal explains Saturn's $15 million Series A. Saturn builds an operating layer for wealth management, automating admin and compliance so financial advice can reach more people; the company bootstrapped, went through YC, and raised from Singular and Shapers. Amal tells the Cybertruck-taxi growth hack at a US advisor conference, explains choosing the UK over the US (compliance costs three times higher, advice penetration three times lower), describes the FCA innovation pathway, the inbound word-of-mouth go-to-market, and planned expansion to Australia. Series A funds go toward scaling service, building the 'assembly line of advice', and cutting the ~£2,000 annual cost to serve a client by 90%.
