Rippling is the first way for businesses to manage all of their HR, IT, and Finance — payroll, benefits, expenses, corporate cards, computers, apps, and more — in one unified workforce platform.\n\nBy connecting every workforce system to a single source of truth for employee data, businesses can automate all of the manual work they normally need to do to make employee changes. Take onboarding, for example. With Rippling, you can just click a button and set up a new employees' payroll, health insurance, corporate card, work computer, and third-party apps — like Slack, Zoom, and Office 365 — all within 90 seconds.\n\nBased in San Francisco, CA, Rippling has raised $700M from the world’s top investors—including Kleiner Perkins, Founders Fund, Sequoia, and Bedrock—and was named one of America's best startup employers by Forbes (#12 out of 500) and the #1 fastest-growing private company in the Bay Area by the San Francisco Business Times.
