Hi all,

"Edit: I'm the co-founder of Kivalia." We've spent about 1 1/2 years developing the above-linked community-based 401(k) advisory service offering, which is now live. We'd welcome feedback from the community to help us refine the design/flow/usability of the service offering.

The specific problem we're solving is "How should I invest my 401(k) money, given the market environment and the options available to me specifically?"

My partner and I have deep domain expertise (quant finance & investment advisory experience - 25 years or so between us) and as such, run the risk of creating something intuitive to us, but too geeky for mass consumption.

I’ll be active in the comments section

Thanks! B

Hey @bpm11, How does this differ from the consumer's perspective from BrightScope?

Best, David
