Managing your investments has never been easier!
8FIGURES founder and CEO Andrew Izyumov — who worked in principal investing at Goldman Sachs before starting the company — joined Steven Weinstock on The Wealth Clock Podcast to talk about what changes when tools once reserved for large institutions are put in the hands of everyday investors. The throughline: an AI “investment team” paired with a whole-picture net-worth tracker can give private investors an institution-style view of their finances — while the person still makes the decisions. It was a natural fit for the show’s audience of hands-on wealth-builders, many of whom already juggle real estate and private deals alongside their public-market holdings.
Before founding 8FIGURES, Andrew worked in principal investing at Goldman Sachs. As he described on The Wealth Clock Podcast, the gap he kept returning to is access: large institutions have long had dedicated analysts, risk teams, and tax specialists watching their capital, while most individuals are left with spreadsheets and one-size-fits-all advice. 8FIGURES is built to bring private investors that kind of insight.
Rather than one general-purpose chatbot, 8FIGURES is built as a set of specialized AI agents — a research analyst, a risk officer, and a tax-aware guide — each analyzing a question from a different angle, the way an investment committee weighs a decision from several sides. Because they share the same context about your goals, the guidance aims to be specific to your situation rather than generic. Every agent is educational: it explains and suggests, and you decide what to do. You can see how the engine is put together on our AI Investment Advisor page.
For an audience that thinks in terms of real estate and private deals, Andrew argued that tracking matters as much as advice. 8FIGURES is designed to bring public markets, real estate, startups, private funds, bonds, and crypto into a single net-worth view, so any analysis reflects everything you own — not just the slice that sits in a brokerage account. A complete picture, he suggested, is the honest starting point for any decision about risk or allocation. For investors whose wealth is spread across illiquid assets, that consolidated view is often the hardest thing to assemble on their own.
The recurring theme was democratization: taking the kind of cross-asset, whole-portfolio perspective that used to be reserved for institutions and making it usable by individuals. That framing reflects where Andrew came from — a seat with a broad mandate across asset classes — and it is the lens 8FIGURES is built to hand to everyday investors, on their own terms. The pitch is not that individuals should think like a hedge fund, but that they deserve the same completeness of information before they act.
Andrew was careful not to oversell automation. AI, in his telling, is a capable assistant that can research, monitor, and explain — but the investor sets the goals and makes the call. That is also why 8FIGURES publishes an AI Advice Disclosure describing how its AI-assisted guidance works and where its limits lie. Embrace the leverage AI offers, was the takeaway, but keep your hand on the wheel.
