About Thera

Thera is building HR for the future of work. Traditional providers are failing to meet the compliance, global, and benefits needs of tomorrow’s best companies, which will be global and remote from Day 1.

We make it simple and satisfying to set up your company and employees for success, including for busy founders and leaders without HR experience.

Our founding team consists of ex-Palantir and ex-Amazon engineers.
