FoundersBeta has announced Powerpay as its newest sponsor, bringing one of Canada’s leading payroll solutions to its growing community of entrepreneurs and startup founders.
For more than 25 years, Powerpay has helped Canadian businesses simplify payroll through technology designed to reduce administrative work and improve payroll accuracy. Today, more than 46,000 businesses across Canada rely on Powerpay to automate payroll so founders and teams can spend more time growing their companies instead of managing back-office operations.
Built specifically for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), Powerpay provides payroll and human resources (HR) tools that help organizations stay compliant with Canadian payroll requirements while streamlining everyday operations.
Powerpay was originally introduced by Ceridian in 2001 as Canada’s first fully internet-based payroll solution. Now part of Dayforce, a global human capital management technology company, Powerpay continues to focus on delivering payroll and HR solutions tailored to the needs of Canadian SMBs.
“At Powerpay, we believe payroll, done right, gives startup founders and business owners more time to focus on what matters most: growing their business,” says Samantha Lloyd, Sr Director of Growth Marketing at Powerpay. “Collaborating with Foundersbeta allows us to engage with the incredible startup ecosystem in Canada and support these incredible companies as they scale.”
The sponsorship reflects a shared commitment between Powerpay and FoundersBeta to equip entrepreneurs with practical solutions that support company growth. By connecting founders with trusted payroll technology, the collaboration aims to help startups spend less time on administration and more time building innovative businesses.
FoundersBeta continues to expand its global startup community by connecting entrepreneurs with technology partners, educational resources, funding opportunities, and talent to help them launch and scale successful companies.
“We’re grateful to be collaborating with Powerpay to bring necessary resources and solutions to the startup ecosystem. Payroll remains a major challenge for many founders, many of whom are running payroll themselves in the early days of their business. Powerpay will help simplify and streamline payroll for the FoundersBeta startup community,” says Eric Rafat, Founder and CEO of FoundersBeta.
