Plenty Launches Wealth-Building Platform for Couples, Catering to Millennials’ Financial Goals
Plenty, a recently launched company aims to assist millennial couples in discussing, managing and investing their finances together. The platform was founded by Emily Luk and Channing Allen and focuses on providing wealth-building opportunities that consider the unique circumstances of individuals in committed relationships. The couple met while working at Even, a company acquired by One in 2022, and got engaged. Then they realized the need for financial planning tools to navigate their future together.

Addressing Financial Challenges for the Non-Wealthy
Luk recognized that existing financial products focused on individuals who were already wealthy and this situation left limited options for those outside that category. Many available products either imposed high upfront fees or provided potentially predatory advice. Motivated to bridge this gap Luk and Allen left One to establish Plenty—an SEC-registered Investment Advisor offering a goals-based approach to investing.
A Comprehensive Platform for Couples’ Financial Journey
Plenty’s wealth–building platform enables both individuals and couples to join. Users can connect their financial accounts and choose which accounts to share with their partners. The platform also offers a cash management product with a 4.83% annual percentage yield supported by money market funds. Additionally Plenty provides an AI-powered direct indexing strategy that historically required a minimum investment of $500,000. To join Plenty an initial deposit of $100 is required along with an annual membership fee of $150 for individuals or $200 per couple granting both partners their own Plenty account.
Venturing into a Competitive Landscape
Plenty enters a competitive space alongside companies like Honeydue, Zeta, Ivella and Ensemble. While its competitors focus primarily on budgeting and transaction-splitting Plenty distinguishes itself by tailoring its offerings to couples in more mature relationships. The company has attracted attention from venture capitalists and secured $2.75 million in pre-seed capital from investors such as Phenomenal Ventures, Kevin Durant and Rich Kleiman’s 35V, former Wealthfront CEO Adam Nash, Xtripe Angels and Inovia Capital. The raised funds will be utilized for hiring and further product development.
Plenty is Still in Its Early Stages
Although Plenty is still in its early stages, it has already begun generating revenue. Luk and Allen have been utilizing the platform themselves since January and have a growing waitlist of interested users. The company aims to introduce new savings offerings, including treasury bills and assist one million households in adding $1 million to their retirement savings. While these goals are ambitious Plenty is committed to expanding its user base and addressing the diverse financial objectives of its millennial audience.
