About
BrioHR is a human resources management platform built for Southeast Asian businesses — providing payroll processing, leave management, performance reviews, employee onboarding, and HR analytics tools calibrated to the specific regulatory, labor law, and multi-currency requirements of markets including Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, and other ASEAN countries. Founded as a Y Combinator W21 company, BrioHR raised $8.87 million total including a $6.5 million Series A in May 2025 from investors including Hive Ventures Taiwan, Openspace, and Boustead Holdings.\n\nBrioHR's platform addresses the complexity of Southeast Asian HR compliance — each ASEAN country has distinct payroll tax structures, statutory deductions (EPF in Malaysia, CPF in Singapore, BPJS in Indonesia), leave entitlement frameworks, and labor law requirements. A regional company managing employees across multiple Southeast Asian markets needs an HR system that handles these country-specific rules without manual workarounds. BrioHR's regional focus means deep compliance knowledge across the markets it serves, unlike global HR platforms that add ASEAN as an afterthought.\n\nIn 2025, BrioHR serves 1,000 customers with 37 employees and achieved $5.3 million in revenue in 2024 (up from $3.7 million in 2023), demonstrating consistent growth in the underserved Southeast Asian HR software market. BrioHR competes with Workday (enterprise, expensive), GreatDay HR, and regional players like HReasily and Kakitangan for ASEAN SME and mid-market HR software. The ASEAN SME market represents a large opportunity as businesses digitize HR processes previously managed on spreadsheets. The 2025 strategy focuses on expanding deeper into Indonesia and Vietnam (large populations with growing formal employment sectors), growing platform integrations with regional accounting and ERP systems, and adding AI-powered HR analytics.
