Deel is an American payroll and compliance provider based in San Francisco, California.[3][4] The company provides hiring and payments services for companies hiring international employees and contractors.[3]

History

Deel was founded in 2019 by Alex Bouaziz, Shuo Wang, and Ofer Simon.[5] Bouaziz and Wang met while studying at MIT in 2013.[6] The founders launched Deel after encountering difficulty hiring international workers for their previous ventures.[6]

Deel launched after entering the Y Combinator startup accelerator in 2019.[7] The company then raised several rounds of funding. In May 2020, venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz led a $14 million Series A round.[8] In September 2020, the company raised a $48 million Series B.[9] In April 2021, Deel raised $156 million in a Series C round, becoming a unicorn.[10] In October 2021, Deel raised $425 million in a Series D.[11] They also raised $50 million in May 2022, valuing the company at $12 billion.[12]

As Deel expanded, Forbes reported "a five-person “Navy SEAL” team" went from country to country to quickly incorporate new local business entities.[5] It also began to make acquisitions. By 2023 it had acquired several companies providing HR platforms such as Zeitgold, Roots, PayGroup, and Capbase.[13][14][15][16][17]

In January 2023, it reported having 2,000 employees.[12]

In March 2023, former workers claimed they were miscategorized.[18][19] 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.[20][21]

In March 2024, Deel announced its acquisition of Zavvy, a 'people development' startup based in Munich, Germany, as well as PaySpace, an African-based payroll engine.[22] The company reported it had reached a milestone of $500 million in annual recurring revenue[23] and a headcount of 3,000.[24]

Products

The company offers a platform for companies to hire remote workers.[3][13] Deel hires employees through their own local entity on a company's behalf, acting as the employer of record[25] and managing compliance with employment laws in each country.[6] As of August 2021, it owned 45 entities.[13] As of 2023, Deel operates in more than 150 countries. The company processes international payrolls, allowing withdrawals in different currencies.[26]

Deel also assists with creating contracts that comply with local labor laws using templates.[9][26] It also helps workers access health insurance[3][9] and provides immigration advice about visa processes to companies with digital nomads.[27]
