❌ The Problem

People are the most important asset for companies and are 70-80% of the spend. Employee turnover is 24% in 2023. It is hard to optimize people spend balancing both, because:

  • Various data required from budget info to compensation benchmarking. Fragmented across spreadsheets, payroll, Captabl, slack & FP&A tools
  • All decisions require collaboration across multiple personas and departments including HR, Finance, Managers and Execs
  • Lot’s if repetitive, error prone, manual work. Companies on average spend 10 hours every month updating spend, 1 month twice a year running merit cycles, 4 hours generating every candidate offer

Backstory

As former leaders at companies like Checkr (YC S’14) and serial founders, we faced the challenge of understanding budget, pay of our existing teams so that we could optimally hire, reward, retain people. Every decision required spreadsheets, slack, email and a lot of back and forth with HR, Finance and management. This is a problem that plagued us across our experiences from Seed round to IPO. We wanted to flip the script and build a solution that is proactive, continuously updating and automated most of the work for us and other stakeholders.
