Problem Statement  

Gig workers require flexible, user-friendly retirement planning tools that accommodate fluctuating incomes and provide educational resources to enhance their understanding of retirement savings

Problem Background  

Customer: Gig workers (freelance professionals, rideshare drivers, influencers, content creators) facing challenges in retirement planning due to income variability and lack of awareness.

Why Now: With the gig economy expanding annually, estimated to double from $455B by 2030. There is an increasing need for a solution that addresses the unique retirement planning challenges faced by gig workers as shown from user research.

What We Know: Gig workers exhibit low confidence (80%) in their retirement savings plans, indicating a pressing need for enhanced financial planning and education within this demographic. Additionally, while 60% allocate a portion of their income for retirement, the allocation amount suggested irregular allocations of 10-20%,  suggesting a potential gap in long-term financial preparedness. The diversity in retirement savings vehicles, split evenly between TFSAs, Roth IRAs, RRSPs, or none, signals an opportunity for a solution that offers a more comprehensive and adaptable approach for improved security.
