Founder story
Namely was founded in 2012 by Matt Straz in New York City. Observing that mid-sized companies were caught between clunky legacy payroll software and overly basic small business HR tools, Straz set out to build an all-in-one platform with a modern consumer feel. In 2022, Vensure Employer Solutions acquired Namely to expand its mid-market HR portfolio.
