Complete

is on a mission to make compensation a

winning advantage

for the world's highest-impact companies. We are breaking compensation workflows out from spreadsheets and bringing them into the 21st century - think leveling and compensation cycle planning, total rewards statements for employees, interactive candidate offers [sample], and much more!

Why Complete?

We realize that Compensation is a key determinant to a company's success (and their biggest spend!). Yet, enterprises lack the expertise to build and operate a defensible compensation strategy, making it one of the most costly mistakes to their financial and operational efficiency.

We believe that companies with creative compensation strategies do and will continue to win. Our customers include highly impactful startups like Render, Vercel, Brex, Linear, and Cortex, all the way to world-class enterprises like Roblox.

Complete is backed by Accel and YC. We're also lucky to count technology leaders and operators like Will Larson (CTO of Carta), Eric Sagar (COO of Plaid), ****Mathilde Collin (CEO of Front) as our angels and/or advisors.

Who we are?We're exceptionally product minded builders. We obsess over quality and believe that software built in the 21st century should not require product trainings.Our culture is best described as low ego and painstakingly fast. Companies do not need big teams to prove PMF - they need focus.We're a small team of 5 with exceptional product and business acumen. It's allowed us to compete and consistently win against competitors.☆ Our customers include the likes of startups like Linear and Brex to public companies like Roblox, and we're adding amazing logos to this list every day... with NO sales team (yet!)We work in person in SF, 4-5 days/week. We believe that bringing the most talented folks together in one room is the fastest way to win as a startup.What are we looking for?
