Global payroll is a maze most companies dread navigating. Deel turned it into their MOAT by streamlining HR across borders, powering remote work, and hitting a $1B+ run rate with over 5,000 employees. Alex Bouaziz, Deel’s CEO and co-founder, grew up nerding out on Nintendo and hunted perfection from Paris to MIT. His relentless curiosity built a platform that’s rewriting how the world hires. In this episode, we explore: • why he wakes up obsessed with your problems, not his product • how a Disneyland obsession shaped his entrepreneurial spark • why he’s doubling down on AI and stablecoins ABOUT US: We’re proudly sponsored by Brex - a brand I co-founded, now supporting over 30,000 businesses like Anthropic, DoorDash, and Scale AI, helping them make every dollar count. I’m grateful for their continued support as I bring you all conversations with some of the most exceptional founders of our generation. Onward and upward, together.
