Retirement savings and the transfer of wealth is a cyclical problem. What one generation does or does not do directly impacts the next. At Anthemis, we see opportunities for tech to improve the financial life of any person at any financial stage. While there is beginning to be slightly more attention paid to older generations in terms of technology generally, and in fintech especially, the majority of innovation has targeted the younger and more ‘tech savvy’ generations. Today, we know that the aging generations are just as open to — and increasingly comfortable with — technology as the millennials; we know that what a modern retiree looks like and how they spend has changed drastically. That is why at Anthemis we are excited to speak to companies that are focused on fintech solutions for the aging population.

Innovation should not be framed as “corporates versus start-ups” but rather as the notion that these different entities can and should find new ways to work together; they are symbiotic, not zero sum.
