WealthFeed, an AI-powered prospecting platform that enables financial advisors to grow their book of business, increase client retention, and expand wallet share, today announced a partnership with Steward Partners, one of the industry's fastest-growing investment advisory firms with more than 300 advisors across the U.S. overseeing nearly $50 billion in client assets.

Steward Partners is a full-service, employee-owned firm offering comprehensive wealth planning, private banking, institutional consulting, and business solutions to investors, multi-generational families, and businesses. Among other achievements, it was ranked 9th on the 2025 Barron's Top 100 RIA Firms list and named one of the 5,000 fastest-growing private companies by Inc. for a fifth time.

Through an enterprise-level agreement, Steward is purchasing a 12-month subscription on behalf of 50 lead advisors, the first step in a broader rollout plan to help its advisors generate higher levels of organic growth and scale their practices.

“We’re honored that Steward, a true leader in the industry, has chosen to offer WealthFeed to its advisors as a more effective approach to finding high-intent prospects and engaging clients,” said Sam Kendree, Co-Founder & President of WealthFeed. “Advisors understand organic growth isn't just a nice to have, it's a must.
