↗What Happened
The HR tech startup, which currently operates in Brazil, has raised a $17.25 million Series A.
Our Take
Here's the thing: Keith Rabois sees a $17M bet in Brazil's HR pain. Comp's probably automating payroll, benefits, hiring—all easier in a country with looser compliance than the US. They're targeting a market where labor's cheap enough that margin compression matters less than volume. Brazil's got 200M+ people and growing middle class. If Comp captures even 1% of mid-market hiring, that's a unicorn. Regulatory changes could wreck it. Global players pivoting downmarket could wreck it. But the thesis is solid.
What To Do
Watch Comp's next market—VC's never content with one region.
