It's been six years since the launch of benefits software startup Zenefits, which grew like wildfire in response to an industry hungry for new HR tech solutions. Unfortunately, like a wildfire, things got a little out of control, leading to the departure of cofounder and CEO Parker Conrad three years ago, as well as ongoing regulatory and personnel scandals.
But founder Parker Conrad is back at it. Recognizing that Zenefits was just the first step in ben admin disruption, his latest venture takes it a step further. Rippling is an employee management system that not only handles payroll, benefits and HR administration, but adds in IT integration, creating a solution that speaks not just to HR but all company functions.
