WEALTHREACH × BUZZLEAD · THE HIVE · SEPTEMBER 2026
BuzzLead

Welcome to the Hive, WealthReach.

David, we just finished a run with Lumion, vertical SaaS for trade schools with a first marketing hire and no outbound. WealthReach is shaped the same way. It would have been wrong not to get this in front of you. So: a jar of honey, and the plan.

Underneath the jar: every SEC-registered RIA mapped, the ~3,900 that look like your best customers, and three campaigns we'd run for WealthReach in the next 30 days.

Section 01 · Why there's honey on your desk

Three things came with the jar.

01

The honey

Raw, from a US apiary. Something you'll open instead of file.

02

This page

Your market sized, the customers you already win and the accounts that look like them, and three campaigns: TAM, lookalike, intent. Built for WealthReach.

03

The call

Twenty minutes with Troy and Nick. We bring the account list we'd start with. You tell us where to start.

Section 02 · The company shaped like you

Lumion: zero pipeline to 50+ meetings in 31 days.

Vertical SaaS for trade and technical schools. First marketing hire, no outbound, a niche of 10,000 to 30,000 schools. We mapped five sub-verticals, timed the CDL play to a Pell Grant policy window, and routed replies straight to their SDRs. Same shape as Lumion: a public registry of buyers, a calendar-driven budget cycle, and a first marketing hire who needs pipeline now.

In the span of a month, we've had well over 100 positive responses. We've scheduled 45 to 55-plus meetings with an 80% hold rate.Andrew Jones, Head of Marketing, Lumion

Section 03 · The sweet part

What could be sweeter than 2,300 to 3,800 more of your best customers?

You already have the dream ones: the RIA firms that grow, retain, and refer others without being asked. We take those, run them through our lookalike tool, and find another 2,300 to 3,800 that look exactly like them. Then we run hyper-personalized, highly targeted outreach to every one.

Same size, same setup, same reasons to buy as the accounts on the right. Modeled, not guessed.

Section 04 · Your market, sized

Every cell is a RIA firm.

Every SEC-registered RIA files a Form ADV listing AUM, advisor headcount, and the principals who sign off on vendors. We build the list from IAPD data, enrich the buyers, and time the sends to the Q4 budget cycle.

Section 05 · Intent

You're the first supplier that comes to mind.

We'll actively monitor all 15,400 SEC-registered RIAs and reach out the moment the right signal shows up, so WealthReach is the first name a principal thinks of when client acquisition comes up.

  • AUM crossed $500M or $1BForm ADV amendments on IAPD. Crossing a reporting threshold often triggers a rebrand.

Section 06 · Three strategies, deployed together

TAM, lookalike, intent. Every angle, from day one.

This isn't one list and one email. We deploy three strategies at once, each with its own angle: the whole market gets the offer, the accounts that mirror your best customers get the proof, and anyone showing a buying signal gets a note the week it happens. Then we double down on whichever one the market answers.

STRATEGY 1 · TAM

Own the whole market

TargetThe ~3,900 RIAs in your sweet spot: $100M to $1B in AUM, principal and CMO enriched from IAPD Form ADV filings.
AngleOne platform for client acquisition and referral marketing instead of a patchwork of agencies and point tools.
~3,900 ACCOUNTS
STRATEGY 2 · LOOKALIKE

Mirror your best customers

TargetRIAs that mirror your best customers: same AUM band, same advisor count, same growth stage, pulled from the same IAPD filings.
AngleLead with the growth story of firms already on WealthReach and what changed after they switched.
~2,300+ ACCOUNTS
STRATEGY 3 · INTENT

Catch them in-market

TargetRIAs showing a buying signal this quarter: new marketing hire, AUM crossing a reporting threshold, custodian switch, or M&A activity on Form ADV.
AngleA one-to-one note written from the signal, sent the week the Form ADV amendment posts.
