Top Human Resources Startups in 2024

Sparrow is a fast-growing software startup based in San Francisco. Our mission is to make it simple for companies to provide their employees with all kinds of leave (i.e. family, medical, etc.). Currently, the leave management process is painful and inefficient for everyone—company leaders struggle to keep up with regulations and processes that change frequently, and the employees going on leave are overwhelmed by bureaucracy at an exceptionally important juncture in their career. Sparrow transforms this ordinarily tedious, error-prone, and time-consuming process into a quick and simple one, saving teams time (20-40 hours per leave) and money (up to $25K per leave). Sparrow is a diverse, highly talented and supportive team. Together, we are hardworking, collaborative, smart, and humble—after all, we’re solving real problems.

Emerald Energy (emeraldenergy.co) is solving the critical shortage of clean energy technicians. Its platform will source and assess, train, and certify them using better technology.

Emerald is starting by filling the gap in heat pump installers, then will expand into EVs/batteries, wind, and solar workers as we scale. We piloted with one of the largest heat pump-focused contractors in the Northeast, which helped it generate $250K in new revenue, cut hiring time by 50%, and save $35K in recruiting costs. Emerald will serve companies, unions, and community colleges as a B2B partner.
