About Arch
Private investments such as venture capital, hedge funds, and private equity, make up roughly 25% of the entire investments universe. Traditionally, investors, family offices, and managers track hundreds of investments in complicated spreadsheets, file folders, and busy email boxes. Not only is this tedious and time-consuming, but it is rife with opportunity for manual data entry errors, inconsistent reporting, and lost information. Enter, Arch.
Arch is a seed-stage fintech startup that digitizes and automates portfolio management and document collection for private investments. With Arch, investors can rest assured knowing all of their investment information and data is organized, accurate, and secure.
We are currently a small company responsible for billions of dollars in investments, and we are looking to hire in all parts of our company as we are quickly growing.
