Central eliminates back-office work for startups.
While HR/payroll platforms give you software to figure it out, Central actually does all the work using AI agents and human experts: payroll, benefits, compliance, accounting, taxes, and more.
That's 10+ hours back every month. Thousands of founders trust Central, including high-growth companies like Magic Patterns, Wordware, and Bitesight.

Why Central?Founders start companies to solve problems and build something that matters. Not to become HR managers.
Yet here we are in 2025. Despite countless $10B+ 'solutions', founders are still drowning in back-office bullshit.
Why? Because every platform was built for HR professionals, not founders.
Today, every founder still has to: Register in multiple states. Set up workers' comp. Categorize expenses. Decipher government letters. Pay invoices. Update addresses. Manage equity. Troubleshoot insurance. Answer PTO questions. The list never ends.
What a waste of time. But what's worse is the constant anxiety: What am I missing? Did I do this right? Will I get fined?
What founders need isn't another tool they have to learn and manage, but something that actually does the work. All of it.
As an early member, you'll have a seat at the table and help Central scale to serve thousands of companies and founders.
