Hey HN! I'm Pranab Krishnan and I'm a cofounder at Puzzl ( helps platforms embed payroll into their product.With our payroll API, white-label components, and internal tools you’ll have everything you need to successfully launch a market-competitive, e2e payroll product quickly and affordably.We came across this problem when we operated a gig company with 1000+ workers and ran into major compliance problems that forced us to classify everyone as W2 employees. There was no product on the market that allowed us to seamlessly (and programmatically) run W2 payroll at scale.That's how we were introduced to the world of payroll infra. We started off with launching a Payroll API and then expanded to an entire suite of payroll infra tools. Today, we are the underlying payroll infrastructure for all types of platforms.We're building a product we wish we had.Why do companies want to build payroll in the first place?- Increase your CLV  — Businesses rarely switch payroll providers- Monthly Recurring Revenue  — Payroll serves as an easy stream of revenue- Launch into new markets  — Payroll is your wedge to offer more high-revenue B2B servicesWho wants to build payroll?- Gig platforms use Puzzl to pay their W2 workforce daily and keep payments on their own app (i.e. Bellhops, Wonolo).- Vertical SaaS platforms use Puzzl to customize a payroll product catered to customers in their vertical (i.e. Toast, Service Titan).- Fintech platforms use Puzzl to add W2 payroll to their suite of financial offerings (i.e. Venmo).Building payroll can sometimes be intimidating. This is why we decided that, although we're an API-first company, we would also prioritize building out-of-the-box white label components (e.g. employer dashboard, employee dashboards, web+mobile onboarding flows, etc.). By using a combination of our components and the API, building your own payroll product went from taking weeks to taking just a few hours.Today, I'm excited to announce that Puzzl is now officially LIVE on Product Hunt! We'd really love your support - please check us out here:  embedded fintech revolution is growing, and we’re excited to fuel the movement by removing barriers to entry to build payroll. If you're interested in learning more about embedded payroll/fintech or building with our API, let me know!Thanks for reading! We would love to hear your thoughts on what we've built!Pranab
