Work will never be the same. Neither will you.
Two things matter in a job: challenging yourself every day and building something that matters. At Rippling, we do both.

Build the OS for work
We’re building the first way for businesses to manage and automate every system that employees run on – from payroll to devices and apps.
Our growth on display
Excuse the clutter. We’ve got a lot of things to celebrate, from workplace awards and hiring milestones to platform firsts.
A basement. A business plan. A very broken industry.
Employee systems are a mess. Busywork keeps multiplying. Everybody hates it. But nobody does anything about it until…
2016
Parker’s basement is unfinished. So is Rippling’s first product. But we have started to build.
2017

The famous accelerator behind Stripe, Airbnb and Dropbox inducts Rippling. We raise $10M there.

Hello, World! The first version of our product is here. It’s not the platform it will be one day, but it’s a start.
- A tale of two cities
We open a couple offices. One is in San Francisco, near our founders. The other is in Bengaluru, where products are being built.

2018
- We go live with customers
Our first product is launched, getting into the hands of curious customers. Like magic, busywork starts to disappear.
- Product-market fit finds us
Closing tons of customers in our first year confirms what we suspected: There’s an appetite for Rippling.
- A compound start-up is born
As part of Rippling’s strategy, Parker commits to releasing great products regularly, instead of coasting on one.

- 260 employees onboard
Our recruiting team runs hard to hire tons of amazing Ripplers. Fifty percent of them are in product, engineering and design.

Rippling launches Platform, an overhaul that gives employees a host of new capabilities and changes how we build products.

2023
- Let’s hear it for Talent

- Rippling raises $500M
Rippling weathers Silicon Valley Bank’s collapse, raising $500M in a few short days to ensure that companies will make payroll no matter what.

So what happens next?
We have a lot of exciting things planned for this year. But nothing is set in stone. Maybe you can help us write our story…
What’s in a bar chart?
We would rather focus on the products we’ve built and customers we’ve served than how much we’ve raised. Still, it signals a bright future.
Everybody’s talking
“For years I wondered which company in the enterprise space would have the vision to challenge Microsoft, whose holistic view was always more appealing than even the best siloed SaaS apps. Rippling paints a vision of a single source-of-truth for everything employee-related in a company – and a future where Rippling is employers’ one-stop shop, impressive in breadth and depth.”
