About Tessera

People, capital and IT are one system.

The name says it: a tessera is the small tile that forms a mosaic, and the token Romans used as currency. We unify the fragments of workforce management into one picture, and we move value as easily as data.

The problem we’re solving

The HCM market is structurally broken.

Legacy suites grew through decades of acquisitions and are held together by fragile, custom integrations, causing data latency, high maintenance cost and compliance gaps. Modern tools fixed one slice each: Rippling owns IT automation, Deel owns global EOR. Nobody unified global payroll, IT, in-app adoption and compliant on-chain settlement on a single data model.

Meanwhile, organizations drown in tool sprawl of up to 50 HR technologies, half of them redundant, and stablecoins quietly became mainstream rails, moving more value in 2025 than Visa and Mastercard combined. Tessera was built for this moment.

Our principles

  • Compliance first. Wages in fiat, crypto by choice, screened every time, proven with zero-knowledge.
  • One data model. No syncs, no middleware, no reconciliation between three systems.
  • Zero custody. We never hold your crypto; licensed partners do the heavy lifting.
  • Privacy by design. Aggregate-only analytics, GDPR-grade data handling, salaries never exposed.
