$574M funding; $2.7B valuation; $121.7M revenue 2024 (+47% YoY); 3,500+ customers; $10M to $100M ARR in 3 years; IPO ready; Fiverr/VaynerMedia customers; Bob HRIS platform leader
Hibob was founded in 2015 in Tel Aviv by Ronni Zehavi and Israel David, with the mission of modernizing HR for companies with globally distributed, dynamic workforces. Built natively for the cloud and designed around a people-centric UX, Bob (its flagship HRIS product) was purpose-built for mid-market companies that outgrew legacy systems like BambooHR but didn't need the complexity of Workday or SAP SuccessFactors.\n\nBob provides a unified platform covering core HR, payroll, onboarding, performance management, compensation planning, and workforce analytics. Its differentiators include a highly configurable data model that supports complex org structures, native support for multi-country payroll, a modern employee experience interface, and deep integrations with tools like Slack, LinkedIn, and major ATS platforms. The platform serves 3,500+ customers globally, with particular strength in the technology, fintech, and professional services sectors.\n\nHibob has raised $574M in total funding at a $2.7B valuation and reported $121.7M in revenue for 2024, a 47% year-over-year increase. The company is widely regarded as IPO-ready and represents one of the most prominent challengers to the incumbent HR software market. Its rapid growth reflects a broader shift among mid-market companies seeking modern, employee-friendly HR tools that can scale with international expansion.
Global payments infrastructure founded by Patrick and John Collison (YC W10); $1.4T payments volume in 2024; $18B+ revenue; $106.7B valuation as of Sept 2025; powers everything from startups to Fortune 500 companies with developer-first API design.
Stripe is a global payments infrastructure company founded in 2010 by Irish brothers Patrick and John Collison, headquartered in San Francisco, California and Dublin, Ireland. Stripe was born from the insight that accepting payments online was unnecessarily complex for developers, and that a well-designed API could unlock an entire generation of internet businesses. The company went through Y Combinator's Winter 2010 batch and grew to become the defining payments infrastructure layer of the modern internet economy, processing payments for businesses in virtually every industry worldwide.\n\nStripe's platform provides payment processing, fraud prevention via Stripe Radar, subscription billing, revenue recognition, banking-as-a-service through Stripe Treasury, corporate card issuance, identity verification, and tax compliance tools. It serves a spectrum from early-stage startups to publicly traded enterprises including Amazon, Google, Salesforce, and Shopify. Stripe's developer-first philosophy — comprehensive documentation, SDKs in every major language, and a sandbox testing environment — created an ecosystem of millions of businesses built entirely on its infrastructure.\n\nStripe processed $1.4 trillion in total payment volume in 2024 and generates over $18 billion in annual revenue, with a valuation of $106.7 billion as of September 2025. The company has remained private longer than most comparably sized technology companies, giving it flexibility to invest in long-term product expansion. An April 2024 partnership with Apple Pay extended Stripe's reach further into mobile and in-store commerce. Stripe competes with Adyen, Braintree (PayPal), and Square, but its developer ecosystem depth and global infrastructure make it the default payments platform for a generation of technology companies.
