The infrastructure layer for the global contractor economy.
Helping startups, agencies, remote teams, and global businesses hire, onboard, pay, and manage international contractors legally.
Why companies struggle hiring globally
Hiring international contractors is easy. Doing it legally, paying them on time, and staying compliant is where everything breaks.
Misclassification risk
1099 vs W-2 mistakes can trigger back taxes, fines, and lawsuits.
International tax confusion
Withholding, treaties, W-8BEN, permanent establishment — every country different.
Global payroll complexity
Multi-currency invoicing, FX, and timely contractor payments at scale.
Compliance across borders
Local labor laws, IP assignment, and contractor agreements that hold up.
Onboarding chaos
Contracts, KYC, tax forms, banking — manual workflows break above 10 contractors.
No single source of truth
Spreadsheets, email threads, and Stripe transfers don't scale globally.
