Every has been named to Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies list for 2025 in the HR & Payroll category for its all-in-one back office platform for startups.
We're thrilled to announce that Every has been named to Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies list for 2025 in the HR & Payroll category. This recognition validates our mission to free founders from back office headaches so they can focus on what truly matters – building products that change the world.
At Every, we've built the first platform that enables tech founders to set up an entire back office in one place – Incorporation, Banking, Payroll, Benefits, Bookkeeping, and Taxes. Our recognition by Fast Company highlights the impact of our approach: creating a solution specifically designed for startup founders who often lack experience in HR or finance but need a reliable partner to guide them through each step.
Since announcing our $22.5M Series A led by Redpoint Ventures last year, we've been laser-focused on making Every the most founder-friendly back office solution on the market. We've grown to over 500 customers in under 2 years, demonstrating the clear need for our solution among early-stage companies.
What makes Every stand out in the HR & Payroll space is our holistic approach to solving founders' pain points:
Our customers' experiences say it all:
"FYI we started with [a payroll service] but it was a nightmare to use. It's clearly not optimized for small teams with low overhead. We ended up switching to Every. Pricing is similar but you get a significantly simpler product and founder support, and you can email a human who responds promptly. Highly recommend!" - Nicholas Charierre, Founder & CEO @ Srcbook
"We had some complicated situations (e.g. payroll for contractors), and Every handled them super well. We were literally set up within an hour for contractors and within a day for W2 payroll." - George Wang, Founder & CEO @ Stellar Sleep
This recognition from Fast Company energizes us to push further in our mission. We know that founders can meaningfully address societal problems through innovation, and we want to do everything we can to empower them to succeed.
While most payroll and HR companies are moving upmarket to serve enterprises, we remain committed to startup founders who are just starting up to 100 employees. Every hour of a founder's day not laser-focused on building or selling puts their company at risk of failure. By taking care of the back office, we enable founders to concentrate on what they do best.
This is just the beginning. We're continuing to expand our product offerings, with free incorporation launching soon – making it even easier for new founders to get started on the right foot.
The entire Every team is honored by this recognition and excited about our continued journey to transform back office stress into founder success.
Stay tuned for more updates as we continue our mission to be the best back office partner for founders everywhere.
