Emily Wyche's Built For Lift-Off Portfolio on Autopilot
Emily Wyche's Built For Lift-Off Portfolio on Autopilot, a rules-based medium-risk mix, and how to follow it.
I'm Chris, one of the co-founders of Autopilot. Emily Wyche has spent 25 years in high tech, including aerospace and defense, and the philosophy in the description is plain: the strongest opportunities come from stable businesses that deliver over the long run.
Emily's Portfolio, Built For Lift-Off, is built on rules meant to hold a steady, medium level of risk. Here's how.
One thing first, because we're an SEC-registered investment adviser and I have to say it. Autopilot is the app. The actual investment advice comes from Autopilot Advisers, LLC. If you want the full legal version of anything in here, it's on our disclaimer page.
1) Who Emily is
Emily Wyche is an independent Pilot who creates and manages Built For Lift-Off.
The description says Emily brings engineering insight and long-term strategic thinking to investing, is a lifelong investor, and is expanding into AI and virtual-reality programming.
2) What the Portfolio holds
High-quality technology leaders, balanced with steadier positions in industrials, consumer staples, financials, and real estate. The stated objective is steady, medium-risk growth.
3) How it's run
A rules-based framework built to keep a consistent medium-risk profile. Sector allocation targets, volatility thresholds, and quality measures drive the decisions, and the framework watches concentration, macro trends, and earnings strength.
It rebalances quarterly. For those unaware, quarterly means it trades far less than the weekly Portfolios on the platform.
4) What medium risk means
I want to be honest with you. Medium risk is a target, not a promise about how it will behave. A Portfolio with a lot of technology can still drop hard when technology does.
The balance in the other sectors is there to soften that, not to stop it.
5) The other Portfolio
Emily also publishes a separate, higher-risk Portfolio aimed at space and frontier technology, labeled for private subscribers. This page is about Built For Lift-Off.
6) How following works
Pick the Portfolio, connect the brokerage you already use, and allocate money. You give Autopilot Advisers limited authority to send orders to the account you already have. When the Portfolio changes, we send them and your broker fills them. The money stays put.
A flat cash subscription, not a percentage of your balance. Per our Form CRS dated February 2026, Basic Tier has no Base Advisory and Licensing Fee, and Premium Tier is $29.99 to $199.99 a quarter or $99.99 to $699.99 a year. Pilot subscriptions are separate and add on for each Pilot you subscribe to. Because it's a flat dollar amount, it's a bigger share of a small account than a big one, so do the math at your balance.
TLDR: Built For Lift-Off, from Emily Wyche, pairs technology leaders with steadier industrials, staples, financials, and real estate, run by rules aimed at a consistent medium-risk profile and rebalanced quarterly. Medium risk is a target, not a promise.

Autopilot does not hold client assets. All investments are held at the brokerage firm you select and connect to Autopilot. Your brokerage firm is responsible for trade execution, custody, and reporting. Autopilot is not responsible for your broker-dealer’s services, fees, or execution quality.
Autopilot’s services depend on technology systems, third-party APIs, and internet connectivity. System outages, API disruptions, or connectivity issues may temporarily affect service availability or trade execution timing.
Client account holdings are designed to track the Portfolio you’ve selected, but your actual holdings and performance may differ from the Portfolio due to execution timing, market conditions, brokerage capacity constraints, fractional share availability, and other factors outside Autopilot’s control.
For Portfolios inspired by publicly disclosed trading activity, there may be a delay between when a Pilot executes a trade and when that trade becomes publicly available and is incorporated into the Portfolio. This timing delay may affect the suitability or performance of trades when executed in client accounts.
Third-Party Pilot Portfolios are created and managed by independent third parties who are not affiliated with Autopilot, are not acting as your investment adviser, and owe you no fiduciary duty. Third-Party Pilots receive a share of the fees attributable to their Portfolios, which creates conflicts of interest for them and for Autopilot, and they may trade the same securities their Portfolios hold. Autopilot may convert a Third-Party Pilot Portfolio to an Autopilot Portfolio at any time.
Listing is not an endorsement of a Pilot or strategy. Fee amounts are quoted from Form CRS dated February 2026 and may change.
