Case Study: Y Combinator cuts admin workload by 30–50% with Rippling

Y Combinator significantly reduced its admin workload with Rippling—the HR "tool of choice" for the accelerator's founders

Y Combinator, the world’s premier startup accelerator, faced growing administrative burdens as its team scaled and supported founders across multiple states and countries. After its previous HR system struggled with multi‑state payroll, benefits, and compliance, YC adopted Rippling’s all‑in‑one HR and workforce management platform to streamline those functions.

Rippling centralized hiring, payroll, benefits administration, compliance, automations and even a built‑in AI assistant, with dedicated support and a Founder Mode offering for startups. The change cut Y Combinator’s administrative workload significantly — Tatyana Veremyova reports saving 30–50% of her time on admin tasks — freeing the team to focus more on founders while garnering positive founder feedback on Rippling’s services.
