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.  You can learn about Roger's other companies here: Comprehensive.io (payments startup) Layoffs.fyi (layoff tracker in the tech industry) Related posts on Financial Samurai: Net Worth Compositions By Levels Of Wealth: Build A Business Already The Top 10 Reasons To Start An Online Business Today Reflections On Making Money Online Since 2009 Career Advice For Those Wanting To Join A Startup   Keep In Touch With Financial Samurai Join 60,000+ others and sign up for my free weekly newsletter so you never miss a thing.
