Company mission
Human Interest's mission is to ensure that people in all lines of work have access to retirement benefits.
Our take
Human Interest is a company offering 401(k) for small and medium-sized businesses (SMB). SMBs have historically been unable to afford benefits for employees, leaving around 40 million Americans without a retirement plan. Human Interest is helping to change this with its platform that has eliminated all 401(k) transaction fees.
The company has seen strong adoption from businesses that have not previously had retirement benefits, including construction, retail, and hospitality - making waves in its target market. Its successes so far have allowed Human Interest to sharpen its competitive edge against similar companies such as Guideline.
With a series of substantial funding rounds under its belt, the company is looking to expand its network of integrations and partnerships with financial advisers, benefits brokers, and payroll companies, as well as hiring additional talent across various teams. Human Interest has also stated that it is eyeing a possible IPO for sometime in the near future.
