VirgilHR, a Washington, DC-based employment and labor-law compliance technology company, announced that it closed $1.5 million in pre-seed funding.
The investment was backed by quadra Ventures, Techstars, SHRMLabs, and TEDCO.
This funding will be used to continue product development through the release of new modules and increase targeted marketing efforts.
"As an HR professional, there is nothing more frustrating than Googling requirements and never feeling like you have enough information to make the right decision. I would watch my team spend hours doing this and hear the same frustration from colleagues and peers over and over again," said Jocelyn King, CEO of VirgilHR. "Complying with thousands of ever-changing federal, state, and local employment and labor laws has been an impossible task—but it doesn't have to be anymore. HR teams need to be in the know, without being burdened by endless research. With VirgilHR, we help HR teams automate this process, reduce the need for research, and, in many cases, the need to speak with an attorney."
VirgilHR serves as a "real-time legal guide by their side," enabling HR directors and managers to make compliant decisions with confidence, quickly, accurately, and with research-backed credibility.
VirgilHR has been purpose-built to simplify the employment and labor law decision-making process so that HR leaders feel confident and supported on a day-to-day basis.
The platform already includes compliance guidance modules and content around leave, wage and hour, EEO, ADA, and pay equity, with upcoming modules including job and worker classification, new hire documentation, offer letters, and non-compete and restrictive covenants.
