Backed by Y Combinator · a16z (portfolio)
Zenefits was founded to take the administrative heartache out of getting healthcare. In the five years since, Zenefits' consumer-grade technology has tackled one of the economy's gnarliest people problems: delivering easy access to health insurance. Today, this is the foundation of our People Platform which brings everything HR -- benefits, payroll, onboarding and talent management -- into one single app. And we're just getting started. Our team is creating a modern People Platform that empowers employees by equipping them with the tools they need to be independent, mobile, and fully in control. The Zenefits People Platform is where HR comes to life. Learn more at www.zenefits.com
