Creating A $1 Billion Fintech Startup And Understanding How 401(k) Plans Make Money With Roger Lee From Human Interest
About this episode
I talk to Roger Lee, Co-Founder of Human Interest, a YC-backed private company that offers 401(k) plans to small businesses. Human Interest raised $200 million in a Series D round in August 2022 valuing the company at $1 billion. Roughly 80% of small businesses with under 100 people don't have 401(k)s.
We talk about how Roger got into Harvard, why he decided to become an entrepreneur instead of go into the management consulting or finance world, AI, and more.
