RemoteBench is a lightweight global hiring and compliance workspace for 5–200 person remote-first startups that can’t afford Deel/Rippling but have real legal exposure. Founders, COOs, and HR leads are juggling Notion docs, spreadsheets, and random law-firm PDFs to manage cross-border contractors and early employees. RemoteBench offers a country-by-country risk dashboard, standardized localized contract templates, automated invoice + FX payout workflows, and compliance alerts (e.g., misclassification, IP assignment, data residency). It positions as a tool, not EOR: integrate with Wise/Payoneer/Gusto instead of replacing them, capturing companies that just need clarity and light automation. Monetization is via per-seat SaaS (e.g., $99–$299/month) plus upsell for on-demand local legal partners curated in each jurisdiction.
