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.
