Michele Ferrario is co-founder and CEO of StashAway, a digital wealth manager based in Singapore. He is originally from Italy and has a background in finance.
In 2016 he searched for a robo-adviser in Singapore and found none. He built StashAway with Freddy Lim and Nino Ulsamer, and the service launched in July 2017 after about nine months of work.
In July 2020 StashAway raised a $16 million Series C led by Square Peg. In January 2021 its assets under management passed $1 billion.
In April 2021 it raised a $25 million Series D led by Sequoia Capital India, with Eight Roads Ventures and Square Peg. A Thailand launch was planned at that point.
