Company Description

Zenefits is a tech company, but what we do ultimately affects people's health, not to mention their wallets.  We a one stop HRIS platform that manages everything associated with the employee record (payroll, taxes, benefits, insurance, HR reporting, etc.). We centralize and simplify all the boring, disjointed, paper-centric HR stuff that no one wants to deal with, into a very easy, streamlined, elegant platform. And the best part: our software is FREE. We make our revenue from the channel itself, by becoming the insurance broker of record. It's a highly disruptive, industry-rattling model, and we're growing at a tremendous rate as a result. We grew from 37 ee's in early 2014 to 600+ at year end, and $1M ARR to $20M. This year we're driving towards $100M+ ARR and we'll have over 2000 employees.
