Tom Sagi is co-founder and CEO of Hourly, a Palo Alto-based fintech and insurtech platform that integrates payroll, time tracking, and workers' compensation insurance for small businesses with hourly employees. His frustration managing payroll manually at his family's construction business inspired him to build Hourly in 2018 alongside CTO Shay Litvak and Executive Chairman Amir Faintuch. The company has raised over $39 million in funding, forged partnerships with Great American Insurance and Nationwide, and grown to serve thousands of small businesses across construction, home services, and retail.
