Our Story
Founded in 2016 by Eynat Guez, Ruben Drong, and Ofer Herman, Papaya Global is (finally!) bringing true technological advancements to the very traditional world of payroll – and helping connect the many fragmented dots between finance, HR, and payroll.
With this innovative mindset, the company was able to disrupt the space in various ways – from automating what used to be a long list of repetitive manual tasks in hiring, onboarding, and payroll management, to leading the way in remote work and global EoR solutions, all the way to becoming the first global payroll provider to develop its own native payments platform dedicated to the complex and sensitive nuances of payroll.
Along the way, Papaya Global raised more than $450M (most recently in a $3.7B valuation), became an official partner of Workday, Oracle NetSuite, and other leading companies from the world of workforce management – and won countless recognitions and accolades, including Forbes Cloud 100.
As of 2023, the company employs more than 700 workers in 21 locations globally, all working hard to push the world of payroll and payments to an ever more efficient and secure future.
