Rippling

Rippling is a workforce management software company headquartered in San Francisco, California, founded in 2016 by Parker Conrad and Prasanna Sankar. The company builds a unified platform that connects employee data across HR, IT, and finance functions, allowing businesses to manage the full employee lifecycle from a single system of record.

Rippling's core products include payroll processing, benefits administration, time and attendance tracking, device management, app provisioning, and expense management. The platform is designed so that changes made in one area—such as onboarding a new hire—automatically propagate across connected systems, reducing manual data entry. The company serves small and mid-sized businesses as well as larger enterprises across multiple countries, offering both domestic and global payroll capabilities.

Rippling has raised approximately $1.2 billion in total funding across multiple rounds, with investors including Founders Fund, Sequoia Capital, Kleiner Perkins, and Greenoaks Capital. The company reached a valuation of $11.25 billion following its Series F round in 2023. Parker Conrad previously co-founded Zenefits, another HR software company, before departing and founding Rippling. As of recent reports, Rippling employs several thousand people globally.
