The Next Frontier in Employee Benefits Is Here.
For decades, workplace pensions and group insurance have operated as a black box.
Employees rarely understand what they have, what it's worth, how it's invested, or whether it's actually helping them build long-term financial security. Employers spend significant budgets on benefits that often go underappreciated because the value remains invisible.
That's why we're excited to see WARREN, a NewSchool VC portfolio company, continue to challenge the status quo.
Following its recent momentum in the Belgian pension market, Warren is building a fundamentally different approach to workplace wealth creation: replacing opaque group insurance products with a transparent, technology-driven pension platform that employees can actually understand and engage with.
What makes Warren stand out is that they are not simply digitising an old process.
They are rethinking the entire employee financial wellbeing experience by combining:
• Transparent pension and wealth-building insights
• AI-powered financial coaching and education
• Access to human financial experts when needed
• A modern pension infrastructure built around low-cost investing and clarity rather than hidden complexity
The timing could not be better.
Financial stress has become one of the biggest challenges facing today's workforce. Research cited by Warren shows that 78% of employees experience financial stress, while 42% would consider changing jobs for better financial support from their employer.
We believe the future of employee benefits is not about offering more products.
It's about helping people build real financial confidence.
Warren is creating a category that sits at the intersection of fintech, wealth management, HR tech, and AI. By bringing transparency and engagement to workplace pensions, they are turning an overlooked benefit into a powerful tool for employee wellbeing and retention.
We're proud to support Cedric De Vleeschauwer, Pieterjan B. and the entire Warren team as they modernise one of the largest and least innovative segments of financial services.
The future of pensions should be transparent, accessible, and understandable.
Warren is helping make that future a reality.
