Rippling for Southeast Asia

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built a SaaS platform for SMEs in Southeast Asia that simplifies HR and expense management. StafBook handles everything from onboarding, leave, attendance, payroll, until off-boarding, as well as expense management like reimbursements and cash advances. This helps business managers reduce time spent on admin tasks and focus on running their core business.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in Jakarta, Indonesia, and the company will remain based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We chose Jakarta because that's where we know the market and problems best. Southeast Asian SMEs have specific HR challenges that existing tools don't address well.
