Addepar is also building new tools to fulfill investors' needs. From Big Data in Databricks to new web apps and everything in between, you'll help us build an AI-first platform to empower investors. Moving forward, Navigator and these other tools will be used as the foundation to build key workflows that cater to large institutions, further integrating across the Addepar ecosystem.
