The story

Founded around 2016 by Allan Jones, Bambee started as an outsourced HR management platform targeting America's small businesses. Over time it expanded beyond basic HR compliance to offer payroll, benefits, and workplace compliance services. The company embedded payroll infrastructure (via Check) and retirement benefits into its platform, positioning itself as the all-in-one HR OS for SMBs that historically lacked access to dedicated HR resources.
