Kevin Busque is the co-founder and CEO of Guideline, a 401(k) management company revolutionizing the retirement space for small and medium-sized businesses. Prior to Guideline, Kevin co-founded Taskrabbit, where he encountered firsthand the complexity and low participation rates of traditional 401(k) plans—largely due to confusing fee structures. After launching Guideline to address those problems head-on, the company has seen remarkable growth, hitting $120 million in ARR by June 2024. In this conversation, Kevin shares pivotal moments that shaped Guideline's trajectory, including a strategic partnership with Gusto. He also explains how his “Do the hard thing first” mindset helped the team build an industry-leading platform and disrupt an entrenched market. – Referenced: ADP: https://www.adp.com/ Aydin Senkut: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aydins/ CalSavers: https://www.calsavers.com/ DoorDash: https://www.doordash.com/ Fidelity: https://www.fidelity.com/ Guideline: https://www.guideline.com/ Gusto: https://gusto.com/ Intuit: https://www.intuit.com/ Jeremy Caballero: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeremycaballero/ John Zimmer: https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnzimmer11/ Josh Reeves: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joshuareeves/ Mike Nelson: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mnelsonio/ Leah Solivan: https://www.linkedin.com/in/leahsolivan/ Paychex: https://www.paychex.com/ Plaid: https://plaid.com/ Taskrabbit: https://www.taskrabbit.com/ Tomer London: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tomerlondon/ – Where to find Kevin: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kevinbusque/ – Where to find Brett: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brett-berson-9986094/ Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/brettberson – Where to find First Round Capital: Website: https://firstround.com/ First Round Review: https://review.firstround.com/ Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/firstround YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FirstRoundCapital This podcast on all platforms: https://review.firstround.com/podcast – Timestamps: (00:00) Teaser: “I don't believe in stealth mode” (02:51) Inspiration behind Guideline (07:56) Lessons from a year's research before Guideline (10:44) Identifying market pull for Guideline (14:28) What Kevin learnt before shipping their first product (19:10) How Guideline set their fees up (27:51) The surprising range of Guideline's early customers (31:48) Kevin's insights from the Gusto integration (39:48) Guideline's first year (44:44) Working with Plaid as Guideline's first customer (53:28) Guideline's auto-enrollment feature (57:53) Lucky 8: Kevin's unexpected pricing strategy (62:04) Franchise opportunities (64:49) Kevin's reflections on Taskrabbit (71:36) Will Guideline ever go multi-product?

JJ spoke about retirement solutions available to small business owners. He said that the California state mandate requires businesses with five or more employees to offer a retirement plan, else they will be fined. However, in spite of being a cost in terms of time and/or money, it also allows businesses to attract talent because offering good benefits to employees shows that they care about the employees. Also, there is a Federal credit available for the first three years to compensate for the cost incurred in setting up a new retirement plan. JJ suggests that there are many options available and it is important for the business owners to give time to come on a quick call and evaluate the benefits of going with a private company like Human Interest and compare it with the CalSavers state plan.
This week we're discussing CalSavers enforcement notices and what to do if an employer receives one.

(6:46) Dan discusses the differences between doing CalSavers versus a traditional plan and the credits that you can get as an employer when choosing a traditional plan. (8:05) Dan explains that if your company has filed for PPP, it is automatically pre-qualified for ERC. (12:37) Dan expresses his desire to learn about and apply everything that will assist a company owner, particularly a small business. (13:58) Dan talks about the ERC tax credits. (16:28) Dan explains that one caveat to the ERC is that not like the PPP where you have to ask for forgiveness, but it is considered earned income. (22:08) Dan mentions that the next time they chat, he will address R&D tax credits, which he thinks is even more exciting. (24:57) Key Quotes: “I always try to stay in the know with anything that's happening in the marketplace…And I just want to get anything that can help a business owner out, especially small businesses” - Dan Kolosowski “When I start referring clients over and I know they're in good hands, we're good. It just leads to more business.” - Dan Kolosowski “The one thing the one caveat with ERC. It's It is not like PPP where you have to ask for forgiveness. Okay, you don't have to ask for and never apologize for your passion. So you don't have to qualify forgiveness. It is though, considered earned income.” - Dan Kolosowski Resources Mentioned: Dan Kolosowski LinkedIn Transamerica Fusco & Orsini Insurance Services Mike Fusco LinkedIn

They just don't know that there's another option.” - Dan Kolosowski “When you take a look at cost and efficiencies and kind of everything with what's happening in this market, the market moves so fast. And if you don't keep pace, you just end up losing.” - Dan Kolosowski “If a company out there has an existing plan, and they haven't looked at the retirement plan in a while, have them reach out to you. That's my first step.” - Dan Kolosowski Resources Mentioned: Dan Kolosowski LinkedIn Transamerica Fusco & Orsini Insurance Services Mike Fusco LinkedIn Ray Ramirez LinkedIn

When you hear "Americans for Prosperity" you have to ask, "Who's Prosperity?" You won't get it from the Koch Bros. Will drug importation happen? You'll have to ask the Canucks. Don't think they're warming to the idea. Can you see drug price inflation in their future? The U.S. is bad enough. Why inflict pain on others? Who's starting the Amazon fires? The Switchback's soccer stadium. Good idea? Will the businesses around the stadium prosper? Will the Switchback's need government assistance in the future? Calsavers: An idea who's come.

There are three state run retirement plans that are now live. Despite the fact they have been in the news, there are still a lot of questions about what they are, how they work and how they impact employers and employees who already have a 401(k) or other workplace retirement plan. To help provide some information and clear up misperceptions I am excited to have Katie Selenski, the Executive Director of CalSavers, the newly launched California state retirement plan join on the podcast. During our conversation, Katie takes care of the basics and also shares the highlights of some research they did when preparing to launch their plan, some of which might be a bit surprising and other points could help employers with some decisions about their own retirement plans. We also discuss the profile of the businesses that will benefit from state plans, how wage theft laws provide some protection to employees who participate in them, whether there might be a national plan at some point in the future and what’s next for state plans. As we did on last week’s episode, Katie answers a written bonus question, we have a full episode transcript, how to get in touch with Katie and more on the website. You can find that by going to www.401kfridays.com/calsavers2019. Guest Bio Katie Selenski was appointed in 2017 by the California State Treasurer to serve as the first Executive Director of the California Secure Choice Retirement Savings Investment Board which operates CalSavers, the state’s pioneering retirement savings program. The program will provide a path to retirement security for millions Californians who currently lack access to a retirement savings vehicle at work. Prior to taking the helm at CalSavers, Ms. Selenski was the State Policy Director for pension policy at The Pew Charitable Trusts in Washington, D.C., where she managed Pew’s efforts to help fiscally distressed states and cities undertake data-driven pension system improvements. Previously, she was a senior manager with the nonpartisan public sector consulting firm Harvey M. Rose Associates, based in San Francisco, where she advised policymakers on a wide array of budget, management, and policy matters, including pensions.
