Founders & story · from Remote’s own dossier

Founded in 2019 as an Employer of Record (EOR) platform enabling companies to hire talent globally without setting up local legal entities. Rapidly expanded to include global payroll, contractor management, benefits administration, and compliance across 65+ countries, becoming one of the fastest-growing EOR providers. By 2026, the company surpassed $300M ARR and became cash-flow positive, shifting its internal operating model heavily toward AI—using Claude and agentic workflows to drive efficiency gains without headcount growth. The embedded finance angle centers on cross-border payroll disbursement, multi-currency payments, and the KYC/compliance stack required to onboard workers in every jurisdiction.
