401GO Is Taking the Friction Out of 401(k)s

Backed by fresh deals and funding, 401GO is making retirement easier to offer and harder to ignore. The company just announced a new collaboration with Mesirow that gives 401GO’s 1,400+ advisor partners access to integrated 3(38) fiduciary services, with custom default and reporting solutions on the roadmap. This follows its March partnership with HCM technology provider isolved, bringing 401GO’s tech-forward retirement plans to more than 189,000 employers through isolved People Cloud. Both moves reflect the company’s strategy: meet businesses where they already are–and make it easier to offer competitive, compliant benefits.

The approach is gaining traction. Backed by a $3 million growth capital loan from Silicon Valley Bank and fresh off a $12 million Series A, 401GO is scaling rapidly. The company now supports over 2,500 businesses and 30,000+ active users, and has reported consistent year-over-year revenue growth over 150%. Its all-in-one platform–built specifically for SMBs–integrates seamlessly with payroll systems, automates plan administration, and delivers a faster, simpler setup process. In some cases, businesses can launch a 401(k) in as little as 15 minutes.

With more states implementing retirement mandates and benefit expectations rising among employees, 401GO is well-positioned to close the retirement access gap. Its recent appointment of industry veteran Stan Smith as Chief Growth Officer adds even more firepower, as the company looks to expand into new market segments and deepen advisor relationships. For small business owners who’ve historically found retirement plans too complex or costly, 401GO is proving that it doesn’t have to be that way.
