About Autograph
Autograph is an ode to HR & Finance teams
Autograph is backed by VCs & angels who were early investors of AngelList, Docker, Front, HelloSign, Instacart, DraftKings, Pillpack, Checkr, Human Interest, BetterUp, Mercury, Amplitude, and many more iconic companies.
We're a team of people who understand HR & Finance deeper than almost anyone. We've redesigned organizations and compensation for Fortune 500 companies. At AbstractOps, we built HR, finance, and legal tools, and managed the back office for 200+ companies (including early stage startups like On Deck, Maven, Airplane, Primer).
And now with Autograph, we are now bringing this expertise to solving the problem of scattered HR data at mid-market and enterprise companies.
We build Autograph to make frustrating things easy
Technology and systems for the back-office lag those of Product & Engineering, or Sales & Marketing by a decade or more.
HR teams, in particular, are stymied because they are dealing with an "employee record" that is split across ~10 major pillars of the HR stack: Payroll, Benefits Admin, ATS, Performance Management, L&D, Time & Attendance, Cap Table, E-Sign / Cloud Drives, IT / SSO providers.
HRIS / HCM systems are slow to make advances in stitching together this data, and they look like they were built in the 90s.
For large and growing companies (typically 500+ employees, but sometimes much smaller), the pain of combining information from 5-10 systems is deep, and results in a real cost to the business: budget overruns, missed candidates, slow and inefficient business & headcount planning, issues with culture and attrition, and -- worst of all -- an inefficient HR team that ends up acting like "human APIs," copy-pasting between platforms rather than driving workforce strategy.
We are changing all that.
We think, when done right, an HR team serves as a partner to the business and helps drive it forward. We save you time. We enable visibility to identify missed opportunities. And we keep you from dropped balls and undue risk. All to unlock your time to delight your employees, enable your managers, close the best candidates, and act as a true business partners to your leaders. We help you be the superhuman HR team.
We'll save you dozens of hours a month, help you avoid mistakes, and thrill your team leads and employees. We do this by a) enabling powerful out-of-the-box reporting for headcount, compensation, and more. b) unlocking a holistic 360° view of every employee, so you can make thoughtful, human decisions.
