About This Episode:

 

Every year, Americans miss out on more than $24 billion in benefits because they're not getting their full employer match in their 401(k). 

My guests today are Sheridan Clayborne & Mitchell Jones, Co-Founders of Lendtable. Lendtable helps employees secure their financial future by supplying them with the funds they need to receive their full 401(k) match from their employer. Some of their more notable clients include the likes of FedEx, AT&T, Techcrunch, Starbucks, Deloitte, and more.

In this episode, you’ll hear the founding story and how these two went from strangers to co-founders in under 6 months, their dream to help every person fund their own 401(k) with their full employer match for retirement, no matter their race, gender, or socioeconomic status, and some advice for other startups on fundraising, building teams, and most importantly the best ways to work together with your co-founders, partners, and investors.

Startup Growth Stories is hosted by Don Muir, CEO, and Co-Founder of Arc Technologies. In each weekly episode of this podcast, you'll hear from first-time, bootstrapped, and unicorn founders about how they secured their first customers, convinced their first employees to join and grew their business. Founders and industry insiders share their greatest successes (and failures) and the things they learned along the way. In the final minutes of each episode, guests get vulnerable - they share very personal stories about the impact of their work on their well-being, their relationships, and their families.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

[01:15] Sheridan and Mitchell describe each other in three words

[01:55] Lendtable gives people money to allow them to participate in their 401(k)

[03:13] Who/what inspires the guys - Both have families/parents that struggled as entrepreneurs

[07:33] Founding Story: inspired by parents and hundreds of customers who constantly had to sacrifice long-term financial security to make ends meet, pay off education and medical expenses, and provide their loved ones opportunities they themselves never had the chance to pursue 

[10:26] Sheridan’s path to meeting Mitchell and forming Lendtable 

[16:10] Going from brainstorming ideas to a fully formed company in six months 

[20:15] Deciding to jump - solving challenges with a big idea that makes sense, believing in your partner

[26:00] Fundraising - at first they disagreed on how much was needed, but having more capital helps to build a team and scale for the future

[29:20] Choosing investors from multiple offers - Not one size fits all. Every investor is a teammate. #1 job as a founder - don’t let your company run out of money and die!

[33:41] What keeps the guys up at night? It is now a large group to worry about. Investors, employees, partners - but these two don’t want to work somewhere with “no stress” - it helps them thrive

 

About Lendtable:
