HourSquare Officially Established - Development Begins

We are thrilled to announce that HourSquare was officially established on January 22, 2026. The day marks the beginning of our journey to build modern HR software designed for small and mid-sized teams that have outgrown spreadsheets but cannot justify enterprise platforms like Personio or Workday.

Our founding team has spent years inside HR, payroll, and engineering teams across Europe and the South Caucasus, and we kept hitting the same problem: existing tools either assume you have a dedicated HR director or they price the small employer out before the first feature loads. HourSquare is the answer we wanted to deploy in our own companies.

What development covers in the first six months

The platform launches with five connected modules:

• Employee onboarding with task templates and document workflows
• Leave management aligned with national statutory rules (EU, US, and Georgian Labor Code)
• Time tracking for office, hybrid, and remote teams
• Payroll integration with country-specific tax handling
• AI-generated weekly HR briefs for founders and people leaders

We are publishing development updates monthly. To follow the build or join the beta, see our pricing page (free during the 2026 beta, free forever for teams up to 10 employees) or read the launch FAQ.

We are based in Tbilisi, Georgia and ship from there to customers across the EU, the United Kingdom, and North America. If you are a founder running HR alongside a dozen other jobs, we built HourSquare for you.
