Rippling's Parker Conrad on the company's new round, its new lease and its newest critic
In this enlightening episode, hosts Connie Loizos and Alex Gove engage Parker Conrad, CEO of Rippling, a workforce management software company now valued at $13.5 billion. The conversation delves into Rippling's recent employee tender offer, which started as a $200 million initiative for early employees to sell stock, expanding due to significant investor interest. Conrad reflects on the company's journey, contrasting it with his previous venture, Zenefits, and detailing Rippling's unique approach to business software, which prioritizes broad, integrated product suites over narrow, standalone solutions.
