In this Financial Samurai podcast episode, I interview Emily Luk, CEO and Co-Founder of Plenty, a wealth management platform built specifically for today's modern couple.
Plenty plans to launch their product by April 1, 2024. They are currently accepting members for their waiting list.
In the interview we discuss:
- The definition of a modern couple
- What challenges modern couples face today compared to in the past
- How to manage a successful dual-career couple
- Financial infidelity and increased financial transparency between couples
- The cost of fertility treatments and financial planning
- Why is it so hard to meet people nowadays
- How Plenty helps couples improve their finances
About Plenty
Plenty empowers modern couples to seamlessly manage their finances together. In an age where dual-income households are the norm and financial choices are increasingly collaborative, Plenty created the first all-in-one money management platform tailored specifically for today's partners.
Co-founders Emily Luk and Channing Allen met while working together at Even, which was acquired by One in 2022. They got engaged to each other in late 2021, and got the idea for Plenty as they looked for products to help them plan their finances together.
