About Central
What is Central?
Central is the first payroll & benefits back-office for startups that works like a teammate and proactively handles everything needed to run a compliant business.
Unlike traditional payroll/HR software that forces you to do all the work, Central actually handles multi-state registrations, insurance, HR tasks, government mail, and everything else related to hiring & paying people.

Why Central?
We’re on a mission to kill business bullshit so startups can fly.
Building a company is still way too hard. Founders still have to register in multiple states to run payroll, set up workers’ compensation, pay various payroll-related taxes, deal with intimidating government mail, update addresses across state filings, and troubleshoot with insurance companies.
Imagine a world where ambitious founders have more time to solve the world’s most difficult problems—from preventing medical mistakes in hospitals to building next-generation night vision to curing brain cancer. That’s what founders on Central are doing.
Currently, hundreds of companies run on Central, and we’re growing rapidly. We’ve raised a huge seed/A from YC and some of the best investors in the world (not announced yet, happy to share in private).
As a founding member, you’ll have a seat at the table and help Central scale to serve thousands of companies.
