It is critical that these startups focus on their passions—whether that’s curing cancer, helping to clean our environment, or developing great software. In my experience, many new companies are on a path to change the world for the better—and we’re excited to support that movement.”

As a partner, TriNet will help Startup America members manage their human resource needs, from minimizing employer-related risk and relieving administrative burden, to putting proactive strategic plans in action.  To get started, TriNet is offering one free month of services plus a free human capital assessment and compensation study.  TriNet has committed to providing HR services with an aggregate annual value of more than $20M.

TriNet’s outsourced human resources services are designed specifically for small businesses and entrepreneurs and help address pain points within the HR function.  The services can range from benefits and payroll to workers' compensation and other strategic human capital services.
