What happens when a doctor has to run payroll for a growing team? 🩺 For Dr Edmund Farrar, co-founder and CEO of Oto , the answer was simple: Hand it over to the professionals. With Deel's PEO, payroll, benefits, and HR are all run through one system, with one bill, across four states.

LinkedIn just dropped their Top 50 startups of 2026 and over 30% are running on Deel. Not piloting. Running on it. These companies on this list are pulling in billions and all made the same call early: stop stitching together five vendors for HR, Payroll, Compliance, IT, etc. The old playbook: hire locally, bolt stuff together, figure it out at scale. The new playbook: hire globally from day one, consolidate infrastructure, move faster. Founders understand that operational friction kills velocity. Every new vendor is another login, another support queue, another thing breaking at 2am when you scale into a new country. The winners are solving that problem before it becomes one. Treating global workforce infrastructure like what it actually is....a competitive advantage.

In payroll, no one asks if the error came from AI or a human. They ask one thing: when does it get fixed? The outcome matters, not the source of the mistake. That's why payroll can't automate the way customer support or email drafts do. At Deel, AI is grounded in 7 years of proprietary payroll and compliance data across 150+ countries, so it isn't guessing. It flags what needs attention, a person signs off before anything goes out, and every action is logged and audited. Michele Bouaziz, Product Marketing Lead for AI at Deel, shares her full take on payroll automation in our latest blog. Read more in the comments.

A growing business can’t afford to lose focus. Kintsugi AI knew that, but payroll and benefits admin were pulling attention away from the work that mattered. So Jeff Gibson, CTO and co-founder, consolidated everything onto Deel. Now they have less to manage, and more room to grow. Watch how Kintsugi AI got its focus back. 🎥

Still coming down from Deel After Dark! 🌝 Following a packed week of events across SF TECH WEEK by a16z, we wrapped with our marquee event, Deel After Dark, bringing together a curated community of founders, investors, customers, and partners for a night of connection, entertainment, and the unexpected. We transformed a romanesque-style former church into an elevated, Deel-branded experience, complete with a live a cappella choir, margarita ice luge, tarot readings, cigar rolling, a headline performance by Jonas Blue and so much more. The evening also marked a major milestone: Deel becoming the Official HR and Payroll Partner of the Golden State Warriors, Golden State Valkyries, and Santa Cruz Warriors. I’m incredibly proud of what we created with Deel After Dark, and grateful to have worked alongside such a talented team, Triana Jewell and Bailey Anderson. There’s nothing better than seeing a shared vision come to life in such a memorable way. ✨ #SFTechWeek #DeelAfterDark #GoldenState #experientialevents #experientialmarketing
