NEW YORK (February 4, 2026) – Alinea, a mobile investing app for first-time investors, announced today that it secured $22.5 million in user acquisition financing (UA) from financial services firm PvX Partners.

The company will use the credit facility to scale its marketing spend and reach more investors. The financing is a credit facility for user acquisition and does not relate to the performance of any Alinea service or investment. Alinea offers model portfolios of ETFs assigned by algorithm from users’ risk tolerance answers, Investing Playlists of stocks and ETFs, and Allie, an AI assistant that provides educational information.

Alinea’s app has been downloaded more than 2 million times as of [date], primarily by Gen Z users. Downloads are not the same as funded accounts.

"Securing this line of credit will allow us to amplify our marketing spend and serve our mission of helping first-time investors get started as quickly as possible," Alinea Cofounder and Co-CEO Anam Lakhani said. "Having a partner in PvX that provides us access to strategic capital and shares in our vision will fuel the next phase of growth for our company."

Said Cofounder and Co-CEO Eve Halimi: "After nearly five years in business, we’ve seen that Gen Z has an appetite to invest and an interest in values-driven investing. We now have the capital to scale that vision even further."

Alinea is a graduate of the Y Combinator accelerator program.
