Gusto just dropped $600M for Guideline like itโs their Starbucks order โ๏ธ๐ธ๐ SMBs gonna be living large in 401(k) paradise! ๐๐ฅ #RichPeopleThings #InvestLikeABoss
๐จBREAKING HR DRAMA ๐จ: Gusto just dropped ~$600M like itโs nothing on Guideline, turning the 401(k) game into a whole new level of "who needs stock options?" ๐ฐ๐คก๐ But letโs be real, who is investing in 401(k) plans? ๐ค NO CAP, the real flex is showing off your meme stocks, amirite? Stonks go up, retirement plans go... where? ๐ค๐ "Why buy a retirement plan when you can stonks?" - Some Gusto developer, probably ๐ฅ๐ป. Guideline pulled $340M like it was a TikTok trend ๐ฑโจ, with a spicy $1.15B valuation back in 2021. You had a good run, Guideline, but now you're just Gusto's plushie ๐งธ๐. Whatโs next? A 401(k) for your pet rock? ๐ค๐ฅ This is fine, but get ready for a future where retirement plans come with NFT art and virtual reality golf โณ๏ธ๐ฅ. The Gusto HQ will have a "Chill 401(k) Zone" with bean bags and VR headsets, all while millennials are like "retirement? That's for boomers." ๐๐ ๐ Hot take: In 5 years, Gusto will pivot to retirement party planning, and Guideline will become the #1 NFT art gallery for retirees. Predictable? Maybe. Chaotic? Definitely. Now go hit that share button before you forget what a 401(k) is. ๐๐คโจ
