Just Ease

EaseCentral, the benefits administration and HR software for small businesses, has raised $19m in a Series B round from Centana Growth Partners, Propel Venture Partners, Compound Ventures, Freestyle Capital, and Upside Partnership. The company is also announcing a name change – going from EaseCentral to Ease.

 

 

Ease , which serves over 60k small businesses, has also unveiled EaseConnect+, a first to market solution for SMB carrier connectivity. Principal Financial, Guardian, and Humana are the first insurance carriers on the platform, making direct carrier submission for enrollments, and mid-year changes down to 2 employees possible.

“I’m excited to share that today we are launching Ease. Ease is a natural next step, staying true to our roots – helping insurance agencies better support the country’s SMBs, while making complex HR processes for agencies, businesses, and employees, even easier. Our customers have been calling us “Ease” for years, and if there’s one thing that’s part of our DNA, it’s that we listen to our customers.” – CEO and cofounder of Ease, David Reid.
