Micruity helps Americans retire securely

Micruity is on a mission to make secure retirement income accessible to all Americans. Too many people get to retirement age and are forced to figure out how to make a lump sum of money last over an unpredictable lifetime.

Micruity provides the data network that enables the pensionization of defined contribution plans. Plan recordkeepers, life insurers, asset managers, and other vendors can easily build and distribute lifetime income products using Micruity’s infrastructure and API-based application development suite. Micruity’s solution enables a more efficient, cost effective and secure ecosystem where all stakeholders in the retirement market can flourish. The end result: individuals have access to retirement income products through their 401(k) plan, getting them a step closer to their financial wellness goals.

Micruity has the talent and financial backing to succeed 

With backing from leading investors in the insurtech and fintech space and a management team with almost 50 years of collective entrepreneurial experience, Micruity has the expertise it needs to revolutionize the retirement industry in a meaningful way. We reward big thinkers, hard workers, ambition, and honesty. Our team is full of fun-loving professionals, and we enjoy happy hours and spending time together at industry events. Not a requirement, but nerding out over math happens often.
