For startups just getting off the ground, it can be difficult to find a balance between employee perks like free lunch or foosball tables and more traditional benefits like PTO and a retirement plan.
Colorado tech companies are starting to offer retirement benefits like 401(k)s to their employees, and others are taking it a step further by offering a match to employees’ contributions. These five Colorado startups give their employees a little more bang for their buck when it comes to their 401(k).
