It grew entirely bootstrapped, without outside investment.
The buyer: Vensure offers HR technology, managed services, professional employer organisation (PEO), and employer of record (EOR) solutions. It serves more than 161,000 companies across the US and over 175 countries, and processes more than $153 billion a year.
