Deel is a payroll and compliance provider based in San Francisco, California.[2][3] The company provides hiring and payments services for companies hiring international employees and contractors.[2]

History

Deel was founded in 2018 by Alex Bouaziz, Shuo Wang, and Ofer Simon.[2][4] Bouaziz and Wang met while studying at MIT in 2013.[5] The founders launched Deel after encountering difficulty hiring international workers for their previous ventures.[5]

Deel entered the Y Combinator startup accelerator in 2019.[6] The company then raised several rounds of funding. In May 2020, venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz led a $14 million Series A round.[7] In September 2020, the company raised a $48 million Series B.[8] In April 2021, Deel raised $156 million in a Series C round, becoming a unicorn.[9] In October 2021, Deel raised $425 million in a Series D. [10] They also raised $50 million in May 2022. [11]

Deel also acquired several companies providing HR platforms between 2021 and 2023, such as Zeitgold, Roots, PayGroup, and Capbase.[12][13][14][15][16]

As of January 2023, it reported having 2000 employees.[11]

In March 2023, former workers claimed they were miscategorized.[17][18] In June 2023, California state senator Steve Padilla sent a formal request to the California Labor and Workforce Development Agency asking them to investigate the allegations.[19]

The company processes international payrolls, allowing withdrawals in different currencies.[21]
