Wealth Management Platform Scaling: $0 to $350M Revenue Strategy | David Snider

Wealth Management Platform Scaling requires more than just technology; it demands strategic evolution, specialized positioning, and exceptional storytelling. In this episode, David Snider shares how he scaled Compass from pre-launch to $350 million in revenue as COO and CFO, then founded Harness Wealth after receiving catastrophic tax advice that cost him millions. David reveals how he's raised over $400 million across 10+ funding rounds by mastering the art of synthesizing complex data into compelling narratives that resonate with investors, top talent, and customers. You'll discover why he evolved his go-to-market strategy five different times across two successful businesses, and why that flexibility was critical to achieving product-market fit. The conversation dives deep into the power of specialization in scaling platforms. David explains how Harness Wealth connects clients with specialized tax professionals and financial advisors, and why being "specialized in multiple areas" isn't a contradiction; it's a competitive advantage in the digital marketplace era. Key takeaways include David's framework for evaluating market opportunities (market size, team strength, and unfair advantages), why "selling" as a founder extends far beyond product sales to recruiting and fundraising, and how cohort-based onboarding reinforces specialization at scale. Whether you're building a B2B platform, navigating fundraising, or trying to scale through specialization, this episode delivers actionable insights from someone who's built two multimillion-dollar businesses by focusing on what truly matters: solving real problems with specialized expertise and relentless execution.
