Lendtable

We give employees cash advances for their 401k match and ESPP

Y CombinatorSummer 2020ActiveFintechCredit and LendingFintech

What they do

Problem

Many employees cannot afford to contribute enough to capture their full 401(k) match or participate in ESPP, leaving free employer benefits unclaimed.

Solution

Lendtable provides cash advances to cover living expenses so employees can fund 401(k) contributions/ESPP and then repays itself from a portion of the vested match gains.

Who it's for

Employees who have access to employer-sponsored 401(k) matching and/or ESPP benefits but lack short-term cash flow.
