Deel (aka the international hiring and payroll company) rise is nothing short of remarkable. They graduated Y Combinator in 2019 and did $4M ARR in 2021. Fast forward to today and they're at a whopping $295M in ARR. They grew $238M in 12 months and are now valued at $12B.
And they're not stopping. Just last week they launched Deel HR to go head-to-head with Rippling πΏ.
Both companies are growing fast.....

REACTIONS β¨
Here are some of the best reactions from Twitter:
Gokul Rajaram (Doordash exec) said it best. Dig into your next company and understand the metrics. Are they healthy? Or are they the next Fast? If the company is not open about their financial data in the interview process then umm ya π© π©
CEOs, note:
Top talent is doing more diligence on company valuation than ever before:asking to talk to CFO, board member, really digging in on the numbers, etc.
Companies who can show healthy financial data early-mid interview process are doing a better job hiring top talent.

Things you should be asking in the interview process:
Burn rate - when will they run out of money? aka when do they need to fundraise again or when will they be cash flow positive?
Forecasted growth + how many customers do they have?
Valuation - tie it back to revenue.
Churn - can they keep their customers?
Hiring plan - does it match up to where revenue is today? Revenue per employee is a good metric
CAC / LTV - have they figured out how to acquire customers (aka sales efficiency)?
