<p>&#8220;We had been tracking Deel since 2020 and were impressed by Alex and Shuo’s vision,&#8221; said Rahul Kishore, a Senior Managing Director at Coatue. &#8220;As we learned more about Deel, we became excited by their increased and impressive scale and believe we are in the early innings of what the team is capable of.&#8221; Lucas Swisher, a General Partner at Coatue who co-led the round, added, &#8220;We were then impressed by how the platform was able to distill something so overwhelming into a tool anyone can use to take global employment from dream to reality.&#8221;</p>
<p>“The way people work is fundamentally changing. And it’s never going back,” said Deel CEO Alex Bouaziz. “We founded Deel because we didn’t want hiring or payments to prevent businesses from building the best global teams and finding the best global talent. We’re going to keep challenging the norms of how companies operate and continue building tools that shape the future of work.”</p>
