Idea

People are demanding more control of their finances, looking to make their money work harder. And although pension savings are highly tax-efficient, employees don’t have visibility on how their workplace pension works for them. This is where Husky come in. Our free to use mobile app, H4E, aims to be the gateway to scheme choice & responsible investments - so employees can take control.

Furthermore, in 2018 employers were fined £68m by The Pensions Regulator. Being an independent, open SaaS platform, Husky supports employees whilst prioritising employer legal & compliance burdens within the platform, saving firms & their staff up to an estimated 88% of fees.

1.4m employers & 22.6m workers are affected by the UK’s automatic enrolment (AE) legislation. Within this market, a conservative estimate of fees charged on employees by pension providers is £2bn a year; Husky operates as part of this huge market & is ready to scale.

Our business model is proven; we've onboarded 1000+ firms, with monthly recurring fees to employers in a 3yr subscription model, boasting renewal rates of 92%. Until now, our sales model has been through partnerships with no direct marketing.

Revenue of £274k and -£975k EBITDA in FY 2019

By investing you'll be helping to disrupt the stagnant workplace pensions industry & empower all individuals on one of the biggest investments of their lives.
