In this episode of the Growth Capital Podcast, host Justin Dixon sits down with Alexander Harmsen, Founder & CEO of PortfolioPilot, to explore how AI is disrupting the financial advisory industry and reshaping how people invest, plan, and build confidence in their financial future.



Originally built as a personal side project after exiting his first company, PortfolioPilot has since grown to manage $30B in assets across 30,000+ users—all with a lean team of just 9 people and a bold vision to make high-quality, personalized advice accessible to everyone.
