Vantis
Wealth tracker for UK HENRYs & UHNWIs
I'm building VANTIS, a wealth tracking platform for HENRYs and UHNWIs in the UK (net worth, real estate, crypto, collectibles, equity in unlisted companies, plus a calculated UK tax estimate).
In the first few weeks I planned to add broker comparison and active tax advice straight into V1. Then I realized that would create a real problem: it would shift the company's regulatory classification, and with it, SEIS eligibility for future investors.
So I cut it. V1 stays a pure tracker. No broker recommendations, no active tax advice, just clear visibility on what you own and what you might owe. The rest comes later, once the SEIS structure is locked in.
What surprised me is how much this constraint actually clarified the product. Less surface area, fewer promises, one job done well. It's also easier to explain to an investor or an early user: "it shows you your real wealth, full stop."
The app is live at tryvantis.com if anyone wants to take a look or break things.
Just incorporated Vantis in the UK last month. The idea came from my own frustration. I have investments, property and crypto and couldn't find a single tool that works for the UK market. Finary is French, Copilot is US only, everything else is basic budgeting.
So I built a prototype. Landing page and waitlist live at tryvantis.com.
I'm not a developer, built it with AI tools. The feedback I've gotten so far ranges from "this is needed" to "anyone can build this in 15 minutes with Claude." Both probably true.
What I actually want to know: if you're building in fintech or have complex finances, what would make you actually pay for something like this?

One thing I'd be careful with:
The interesting question may not be whether people would pay for a wealth tracker.
It's whether they're actually buying tracking in the first place.
Those sound similar, but they can lead to very different products, positioning, and expectations.
That's one of those decisions that tends to shape far more than people expect, and I wouldn't make it casually from waitlist feedback alone.

Honestly fair challenge, and it made me reflect a bit.
You're right that it partly comes down to personality. Some people deliberately avoid looking at their numbers. But I'm the opposite, I'm 19, I already have investments, property and crypto, and I genuinely want to see everything in one place all the time. I'm not building for someone hypothetical. I am the customer.
And beyond personality there's just a real practical problem. Someone might track their stocks on Freetrade just fine. But they can't see that next to their ISA allowance, their property equity, and the watch they bought last year. The data exists but it's scattered everywhere. Even people who genuinely want to track can't, because no single tool connects all of it for the UK market.
That's the gap I'm building for.

Possibly.
The reason I'd still be careful is that I don't think the interesting part is the gap you're describing.
I think it's the decision sitting underneath it.
That's not something I'd try to unpack properly in a thread.
If you'd like the tighter version, drop your email and I'll put it together properly.
