Rippling is a workforce management platform founded in 2016 by Parker Conrad and Prasanna Sankar. The company consolidates HR, IT, and Finance operations onto a single shared data platform, enabling businesses to manage the full employee lifecycle - from onboarding to offboarding - in one place.
The core product automates tasks that typically span multiple disconnected systems. When bringing on a new hire, Rippling handles payroll setup, benefits enrollment, corporate card provisioning, device configuration, and third-party application access - including tools such as Slack and Microsoft 365 - simultaneously. The company claims this process can be completed in 90 seconds, for employees located anywhere in the world.
Rippling has raised over $1.4 billion in funding from investors including Kleiner Perkins, Founders Fund, Sequoia, Greenoaks, and Bedrock, with a reported valuation of $13.5–17 billion. The company has been named one of Forbes' America's Best Startup Employers and appears on both the Fortune Future 50 and Enterprise Tech 30 lists.
