About us

Capitalize is solving critical problems in the retirement savings market with delightful products, scalable technology, and a talented team. Our robust product offering helps Consumers and Enterprises eliminate frictions and unnecessary fees in the retirement savings system. 

Our Consumer product helps people take control of their retirement planning by digitally locating their old 401(k) accounts and consolidating them in a new account at their chosen financial institution. Capitalize handles the paperwork, phone calls, and faxes that have burdened individuals for decades. 

For enterprises, we offer a full suite of enterprise-grade APIs, including an Embedded Rollover API, which allows financial institutions to seamlessly power rollovers in their native experiences. We empower enterprises with delightful user experiences that make it easier for their end users to fund their accounts. 

We’ve raised ~$35mm from leading venture capital investors including Canapi Ventures, Greycroft, RRE, Bling Capital, Industry Ventures, and Walkabout Ventures. We’re growing quickly, and are looking to add more talented, mission-driven people to our team – come join us!
