Introducing ORGOS.

We've been startup founders. We've managed teams spread across cities and countries. And every time, we hit the same wall: the tools built for managing people were either built for enterprises with five hundred employees, or they were glorified spreadsheets with a logo on top.

The ORGOS Team  ·  A letter to founders running people-ops without an HR department

Leave tracking in Google Sheets. Asset management in a shared doc that three people edited last Tuesday. Onboarding checklists that lived in someone's head. Sound familiar?

That's why we built ORGOS.

The problem nobody talks about

Here's what most HR tools get wrong about startups and small distributed teams: they assume you have an HR department. You don't. You have a founder, or an office manager, handling people operations on top of everything else.

And the tools designed for you come with a catch. Almost every people-management platform ties itself to payroll, which means it only works in one country. The moment you hire someone in a second geography, you're back to spreadsheets for half your team.

That's not a bug in those products. It's a structural limitation. Payroll is inherently local. Onboarding, assets, documents, and offboarding are universal.

What ORGOS actually does

ORGOS is a people-operations platform built for the employee lifecycle: everything that happens around payroll, without being payroll.

  1. 01

    Onboarding

    Self-serve intake

    New hires get a link. They upload documents, sign offers, and complete checklists without needing to create an account or navigate a dashboard. You set it up once; it handles the rest.

  2. 02

    Asset management

    Provisioning & recovery

    Track laptops, software licences, and equipment. When someone joins, ORGOS suggests what to provision based on their role. When they leave, it generates a recovery checklist. No more hunting through spreadsheets to figure out who has what.

  3. 03

    Documents & policies

    Generation & acknowledgement

    Need a leave policy compliant with Indian labour law? An NDA template for a UK contractor? ORGOS uses AI to draft region-specific policies, then tracks who has signed what.

  4. 04

    Offboarding

    Exits & closeout

    Exit checklists, asset recovery, relieving letters: all through the same self-serve pattern as onboarding. No manual follow-ups. No dropped tasks.

Why we deliberately skip payroll

This is the part that surprises people. We don't do payroll, and that's the whole point.

Every payroll tool locks you into a geography. By skipping payroll entirely, ORGOS works everywhere. Your engineer in Bangalore, your designer in Lisbon, your sales lead in Austin: they all get the same onboarding experience, the same asset tracking, the same document workflows.

You keep whichever payroll provider works best in each country. ORGOS handles everything else as one unified layer. We call it bring your own payroll.

Set up in minutes, not weeks

Nobody at a thirty-person startup has time for a two-week implementation. ORGOS has an AI setup assistant that configures your workspace (leave rules, holidays, compliance policies) based on your region and team size. Most teams are running in under five minutes. It's free for up to ten people. No trial. No card.

Who this is for

Founders and operations leads at companies of ten to two hundred people, with teams spread across two or more countries, currently stitching together spreadsheets and regional tools.

We're not trying to replace Rippling or BambooHR for mid-market companies with dedicated HR teams. We're building for the founder doing this work themselves, who needs it to just work, everywhere.
