Northstar

Northstar is a fintech company that enables employers to offer financial wellness as an employee benefit.

Northstar helps clear away the complexity by making financial guidance accessible to everyone. 

Northstar was founded in 2016 by Will Peng and Matt Matteson. The company is headquartered in San Francisco, California.

 

Northstar’s financial wellness program guides employees through different financial and life situations, and helps companies support their teams at scale through onboarding, open enrollment, equity events, and more.

 

Northstar has developed a new set of advisory tools to support individuals in today’s financial environment. Rather than using the common call center model, Northstar employs full-time, in-house financial advisors (CFP®) and matches each employee 1-on-1 with a personal Northstar Advisor, who they work with on an ongoing basis.

 

Northstar's platform is trusted by innovative employers such as Snap, Zoom, 23andMe, Virgin Orbit, ServiceTitan, Thumbtack, and NerdWallet, to communicate the value of their total rewards and help employees take action on their compensation to support their life goals.

 

Northstar is backed by M13, GGV Capital, PayPal Ventures, Foundation Capital, Workday Ventures, Thomson Reuters Ventures, Zoom, ServiceTitan, Canvas Ventures, and others. The company raised $24.4M in new financing on Oct 13, 2022. This brings Northstar's total funding to $40.4M to date.
