Company
Humi
Payroll, HR, and health benefits for SMBs
We built a single platform that combines payroll, HR, and employee benefits specifically for Canadian small and medium businesses. Our product automates complex compliance and simplifies processes that used to require multiple systems and manual work.
We live and work in Toronto, Canada, and the company is based here. After YC, we plan to stay rooted in Toronto.
Toronto is where our customers are, and where we've built relationships with thousands of Canadian companies. Staying local helps us stay tuned to Canadian employment laws and unique compliance issues, which is central to our product.
