Central has been super easy to work with and helps us focus more on building cool tools for developers and less on boring back-office work.

The central team is friendly, experienced, and professional. They worked hard to find us a health insurance plan that works for our employees. This personalization and attention to detail was greatly appreciated. Not having to worry about healthcare, payroll, and payroll tax took a lot off our plate as founders.

Hey Nilay, Josh, and Pranav! Central is reaally impressive!! the way you’re simplifying back-office management and compliance for startups is such a smart solution. As you said you’re making it so much easier for founders to focus on building their businesses without getting bogged down by administrative tasks. We’re working on something for founders that could really benefit from insights like yours. Sent you all an email with a bit more context if you’re open to it. Cheers, Johannes
