KOMP

What KOMP does

KOMP, operating as Komp Global Inc. and headquartered in San Jose, California, is a private company founded in 2025 that provides an AI-powered workforce infrastructure platform for hiring, paying, and managing distributed teams across 150+ countries. Its core offering is a direct-model Employer of Record (EOR) service supported by owned local entities rather than third-party aggregators, alongside global payroll execution in 135+ currencies with zero FX markups, contractor management (Agency of Record), worker classification, equity administration, equipment provisioning, and visa and immigration support. The product is organized into four modules — Komp Activate (onboarding and lifecycle), Komp Workforce (contractors and documents), Komp TimeOps (attendance and compliance), and Komp PayOps (global payroll) — and is built on owned infrastructure with an AI Workforce Intelligence Layer covering classification, compliance, payroll, and workforce intelligence, complemented by SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, GDPR, and HITRUST certifications.

KOMP generates revenue primarily through recurring subscription and per-employee fees on EOR, payroll, contractor management, HRIS, and equity management services, with additional managed-services revenue from equipment provisioning and professional-services revenue from immigration support. Pricing is presented as customized based on workforce mix, country footprint, and integration scope, with no setup fees, alongside a 14-day self-serve free trial tier for SMBs. Go-to-market is hybrid but sales-led: a consultative enterprise field-sales motion targeting distributed-workforce organizations (with prominent "Request a Demo" and "Talk to Sales" CTAs), complemented by inside sales for mid-market and a self-serve trial for long-tail customers. The platform serves both startups and SMBs scaling globally and large enterprise organizations managing complex multi-country workforces, with vertical-specific positioning into SaaS, Fintech, and Healthcare where regulated compliance requirements are pronounced. The company reports 101–250 employees, claims 10,000+ customers, and has not disclosed any external funding to date.
