We have two big Lettuce announcements for you today: We’ve secured $28 million in funding led by existing investor Zeev Ventures, and we’ve acquired the benefits access startup Besolo.
We believe that the future of work is solo. Nearly 50% of the U.S. workforce is expected to freelance by 2027. Today, 5.6 million solos earn more than $100K, nearly double since 2020.
Yet, despite the explosive growth in this segment of the workforce, solo businesses remain largely underserved when it comes to tax, retirement, and healthcare benefits.
Lettuce’s mission is to change that—and today marks two major leaps forward in that journey. Together, these moves will help us expand our suite of offerings, level the playing field, and continue to equip solo business owners with the same confidence, resources, and tools normally afforded only to large corporations.
