NextCapital, the leader in enterprise digital advice, is pleased to announce the completion of its Series C Preferred Stock financing. Oak HC/FT, the premier venture fund investing in early to growth stage tech-enabled financial services and healthcare companies, led the funding round.

"More specifically, large institutions want to utilize their own proprietary investment methodology, have full control of user experience, integrate to multiple 401(k) record keeping systems, and often, support multiple business channels."

Patricia Kemp has 15 years of experience as a venture capitalist investing in transformative companies and entrepreneurs in financial services and FinTech, will join the NextCapital Board of Directors.
