What Thyme does

There are 300k+ financial advisors in the US using a digital Rolodex to manage their client relationships, and it's time for a makeover. At Thyme we are building the OS for financial advisors that allows them to automatically take notes in meetings (in-person, online, and phone calls), manage their client records with the help of AI, and offer a client portal where clients can track their assets, manage tasks, and even pay for their services. Our users have replaced their legacy CRMs and billing solutions with us while deepening their clients' relationships thanks to our client portal and AI tooling that puts rich context at their fingertips.

We are building the operating system for financial advisors. Our product automatically takes notes during meetings, uses AI to help manage client records, and offers a client portal where clients can track assets, manage tasks, and pay for services. Advisors use Thyme instead of legacy CRMs and billing solutions, which deepens client relationships by putting relevant context and tools at their fingertips.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live and work in San Francisco, CA, and plan to keep the company based here after YC.
