Kevin Kliman, CEO and co-founder of Humi
Today, I’m thrilled to share a major milestone in our journey here at Humi.
We’re joining Employment Hero in their mission to make employment easier and more valuable, for everyone.
From day one, we’ve taken pride in being people-focused – both internally and externally. The dream was, and still is, to build a team of awesome people that genuinely cared about people, and by extension, would be passionate about building software systems for people.
I'm proud to say we’ve done that.
What Humi is today is amazing. It’s the result of the hard work and support of so many people that I'm endlessly thankful for: employees, customers, investors, partners, community members, advisors. Thank you.
From my cat filled living room nine years ago, to becoming a meaningful platform today that makes a difference in the lives of so many Canadians. I’m proud to share that over 150,000 Canadians are supported by our platform, and we’ve helped pay over $7 billion in wages. Incredible.
And, this is just the start. The partnership with Employment Hero is going to be a massive catalyst for us to help more Canadian businesses.
Humi will remain proudly Canadian-operated. Our focus on the unique needs of Canadian businesses won’t change. This is a crucial part of what makes Humi, well, Humi.
The backing will provide us with the resources to accelerate our growth and broaden our impact, but we will continue to operate from our home base in Canada, with a laser focus on serving Canadian small and medium sized businesses.
Employment Hero has an incredible team that feels like Humi’s, and is led by two amazing founders, Ben Thompson and Dave Tong.
I’m excited to continue building for and supporting Canadian businesses.

Former dentist turned entrepreneur, this founder's journey into tech looked a little different than others. Between co-founding Instaradio in 2012 to helping create Humi in 2015, Kevin worked as a dentist for one day a week into the first six months of Humi’s company history. Outside of being Humi’s CEO, Kevin loves spending time thinking about the future of work.
