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 preparing the foundations for a stock market listing. An indicator of this is its hiring of fresh leaderhsip talent who have previously worked at tech firms that have undergone successful IPOs.
