Our Story
We build straightforward, powerful tools that help people of all ages take control of their financial future — without the jargon, without the fees, and without the guesswork.
Why We Built NestMint
When we started planning for our own retirements, we ran into the same frustrations over and over. Most tools online were either too simplistic to be useful — just a savings calculator with a couple of inputs — or locked behind expensive advisor fees and paywalls. The handful of comprehensive options that did exist felt like they were designed by engineers for engineers: dense interfaces, confusing terminology, and very little guidance for the average person trying to figure things out.
We thought there had to be a better way. So we built the tool we wished we had: something that lets you model real-world complexity — multiple income sources, tax brackets, spending phases, Social Security timing, Roth conversions — while still being approachable enough for anyone to use, whether you're 30 or 70.
Who We Are
Kite Lane Group LLC is a small, independently run startup founded by a team of people who care deeply about making financial planning accessible. We're not a bank, a brokerage, or an advisory firm — we're builders and problem-solvers who saw a gap and decided to fill it.
Our backgrounds span technology, finance, and design, but what unites us is a shared belief: everyone deserves clear, honest tools to plan for the years ahead. No sales pitches, no hidden agendas — just useful software that does what it says on the tin.
What We Believe
Clarity Over Complexity
Financial planning shouldn't require a finance degree. We design every feature to be understandable at a glance, with helpful context built right in.
Your Data, Your Business
We don't sell your information or share it with third parties. Your financial details stay between you and the tool. Period.
Honest and Independent
We don't earn commissions or promote products. Our only goal is to give you the best planning experience possible — no hidden incentives.
Built for Everyone
Whether you're a DIY retirement planner, part of the FIRE movement, an adult child helping aging parents, or just getting started — this tool is for you.
Who It's For
We designed NestMint for real people navigating real decisions. If any of these describe you, you're in the right place:
- Pre-retirees (30–60) — Building and stress-testing a plan for the decades ahead, from savings targets to withdrawal strategies.
- DIY retirement planners — People who want to run their own numbers without paying an advisor thousands per year.
- FIRE enthusiasts — Modeling aggressive savings strategies, early withdrawal scenarios, and Roth conversion ladders.
- Adult children helping parents — Getting a clear picture of a parent's financial outlook so you can plan ahead together.
What's Ahead
NestMint is just the beginning. We're actively building new features and refining existing ones based on real feedback from real users. Our roadmap includes deeper tax modeling, expanded what-if scenarios, improved PDF reports, and more tools designed to make planning less stressful and more empowering.
