Founder at Central (YC S24), Centralhq.com

At my last YC company, all I wanted to do was design and build stuff. Instead, I was always drowning in bullsh*t work despite using the best platforms. This is why we’re building Central. Central is an automated back-office (ABO) designed for founders. We handle payroll, benefits, bookkeeping, taxes etc.
