Deel is a payroll and compliance provider based in San Francisco , California.[2][3] The company provides hiring and payments services for companies hiring international employees and contractors.[2]
History
Deel was founded in 2018 by Alex Bouaziz, Shuo Wang, and Ofer Simon.[2][4] Bouaziz and Wang met while studying at MIT in 2013.[5] The founders launched Deel after encountering difficulty hiring international workers for their previous ventures.[5]
Deel entered the Y Combinator startup accelerator in 2019.[6] The company then raised several rounds of funding. In May 2020, venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz led a $14 million Series A round.[7] In September 2020, the company raised a $48 million Series B.[8] In April 2021, Deel raised $156 million in a Series C round, becoming a unicorn.[9] In October 2021, Deel raised $425 million in a Series D.[10] They also raised $50 million in May 2022.[11]

As of January 2023, it reported having 2000 employees.[11]
In March 2023, former workers claimed they were miscategorized.[17][18] In June 2023, California state senator Steve Padilla sent a formal request to the California Labor and Workforce Development Agency asking them to investigate the allegations.[19]
