Happl
Personalised benefits platform for global teams
We build a benefits and engagement platform where employees can choose benefits that fit them personally. Managers get tools to engage hybrid teams without bogging down with compliance and admin. Essentially, it's benefits for the modern workforce, with flexibility and simplicity for HR.
We live in London, England, and the company is based here. We would keep it based in London after YC.
We are rooted in London because that's where our team and core customers are. The UK market and culture define our product's structure and compliance landscape. Moving would disconnect us from that ecosystem.
