How it feels every time you have to log-in to you legacy provider's 401(k) portal...

Yes.

We have an official @XBusiness account!

"Dave, I live in a HCOL area, making $150k per year, but I'm struggling to save 15% of my income for retirement" "Have you considered buying 10 or 12 homes?"

The 401(k) hasn't changed much since 1979. Meanwhile, everything else has. At Basic Capital, we've built the world's most flexible 401(k) designed for modern teams.

Owners, not workers.

We designed Basic Capital for how people build wealth *today* which is increasingly through the ownership of productive assets. You can't close the wealth gap just by extending amortization, you do it by giving everyone a real stake in the growth and dynamism of our economy.

What @gurgavin misses is that there wasn't an option in 1950 to invest $8,000 in the market. The buyer had a down payment, but had to finance the remaining portion of the home. Their $1,600 down payment invested in the market would have grown to $3.3 million -- better than the house, but a lot less than $16.4 million. But what if they could have financed participation in the market, just like they financed the home, at a rate of 6.25% for the entirety of the 75 years. In that case, their $1,600 down payment grows to $15.8 million, an annualized rate of 13.05%! Demographics, rates, and lifestyle changes mean homes are no longer the primary vehicle of wealth creation -- financial markets are! At Basic Capital, we're building the infrastructure and the partnerships to make financing assets in the market a reality.

Proud to advocate for 401(k) innovation and President Trump's order opening private markets to everyday Americans! Our Series A, led by @forerunnervc & @lux_capital validates our mission to tackle the retirement crisis by making workers owners of the economy they're building
