Lettuce Financial, an AI-powered all-in-one platform designed for solopreneurs, announced its intent to acquire Carry’s retirement and investing platform, expanding its capabilities to include tax-advantaged retirement and alternative investment accounts.
The acquisition will provide Lettuce customers with access to financial tools traditionally reserved for institutional wealth management clients, including Solo 401(k)s, IRAs, and alternative investment accounts spanning assets such as stocks, mutual funds, crypto, and startups. These offerings will integrate with Lettuce’s existing suite of automated financial services and healthcare benefits.
The deal brings more than $225 million in assets on platform and thousands of members into the Lettuce ecosystem, along with Carry’s established compliance infrastructure. Carry will continue operating as a standalone brand under its current team, ensuring continuity for existing users. Customers of Carry will not experience changes to fees, investment strategies, or custody arrangements, while gaining optional access to Lettuce’s broader platform, including tools for finance automation, tax management, accounting, and healthcare benefits.
The acquisition represents a key step in expanding SoloHQ™, Lettuce’s integrated platform aimed at providing solopreneurs with the same financial systems and protections available to larger organizations. With this addition, Lettuce now covers core components of running a solo business, including accounting, taxes, payroll, healthcare, and retirement planning.
Following the close of the transaction, Carry founder Ankur Nagpal will serve as a strategic advisor, while co-founder Nick Rasch and key team members across operations, product, engineering, and compliance will join Lettuce.
The transaction remains subject to customary regulatory approvals.
KEY QUOTES:
“Retirement planning has always been a core pillar of what we’re building at Lettuce. Solopreneurs deserve the same financial tools and advantages that full-time employees at the world’s best companies take for granted. With the addition of Carry, we’re closing one of the most consequential gaps in the solo financial experience and bringing another critical piece of that stack directly to the platform. We’re thrilled to welcome the Carry team and to give their customer base of solopreneurs access to the wider Lettuce ecosystem that’s been designed exactly for them.”
Ran Harpaz, Founder and CEO, Lettuce Financial
“Carry was built on the belief that self-employed individuals deserve access to the same wealth-building tools as everyone else. Lettuce is the right home for this platform and for our members. Ran and the team have the vision and the commitment to take what we’ve built and make it even more powerful. I remain deeply committed to Carry’s members and to seeing that vision realized.”
Ankur Nagpal, Founder, Carry
