[YS Exclusive] Investment app Elever raises pre-seed round of $750K from angel investors

Goal-based investing app Elever on Monday has raised funds of $750,000 from a group of 19 angel investors, including Massimo Vita (Executive Director - Asia Impact SG), Udaya Kumar (MD and CEO – CreditAccess Grameen), and Seetharaman Babu (Regional Engineering Director in a Multinational OEM in Automation Industry).

Founded by Anshul Sharan, Ram Subramaniam, and Santosh R, Bengaluru-based Elever is a personalised investing app that is helping customers elevate their financial health and achieve their financial goals.

Elever does it through its AI-driven unique investing platform called "Systematic Lifestyle Planning," which recommends, manages, and tracks tailor-made diversified portfolios to achieve customers' financial goals.

Currently, its app is in the invite-only mode with 300+ customers.

Commenting on the fundraise, Anshul Sharan, Co-founder and CEO, Elever, said,

"We strongly believe that every person – irrespective of their financial status and understanding – has the right to improve their lifestyle by investing and achieving their goals. However, the majority of the people in India, especially non-HNIs, do not get the right, unbiased, and affordable service. We are bringing an artificial intelligence-driven platform to bridge this gap in a simple and affordable manner."
