Salt Lake City — Jump, AI software for financial advisors, announced today that it has raised $4.6 million in funding led by Sorenson Capital with significant participation from Pelion Venture Partners and strategic angel investors.
Jump enables advisors to concentrate on their core competencies-advising and building relationships with clients-by using AI to automate repetitive administrative tasks like notetaking, sifting through data from previous client calls and notes to prepare for meetings, writing follow-up emails, generating task lists, and syncing relevant data to CRM (including deep integration with Wealthbox, Redtail, and Salesforce).
“We’re thrilled to partner with Sorenson Capital and Pelion so that we can do even more to help financial advisors minimize time spent on client meeting admin while elevating the client and advisor experience," said Parker Ence, CEO and Co-founder of Jump. “The Jump team is proud to play a part in helping advisors future-proof the critical work they do in the age of AI as they help their clients navigate some of the most important decisions in their lives."
After its founding by Ence, Tim Chaves, and Adam Kirk in 2022, Jump launched in January 2024, following over a year of intensive R&D, including a closed beta. After just a few months, hundreds of RIA and Broker-Dealer advisors are using Jump, which has grown almost entirely from organic word of mouth.
Here’s what advisors are saying about Jump:

“This is already saving our team dozens of hours per month just in notetaking and CRM updating time." – Veronica Fox, Chief of Staff, Solidarity Wealth
Jump’s technology has already received recognition from industry leaders, including winning “Best in Show" at the May 2024 Wealthstack Tech Demo competition at Wealth Management EDGE, and on June 4, it was named a finalist for three categories of 2024 Wealth Management Industry Awards (the “Wealthies"): “Disruptor," “Artificial Intelligence," and “Innovative New Application."
“Jump’s platform is designed to alleviate many of the manual, frustrating tasks that financial advisors regularly deal with," said Eric Hilton, Principal at Sorenson Capital. “The feedback from advisors has been overwhelmingly positive, praising both the Jump team and their category-leading product. We are excited to support Jump in defining the future of AI-native automation for financial advisors."
