Paradox

Exciting news to share today: Paradox has entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by Workday! When Paradox was founded in 2016, we set out with a vision where conversational AI would fundamentally simplify enterprise software — helping assist with repetitive tasks and manual work, so people could spend more time with people, not software. We’ve made tremendous progress — and couldn’t be more excited to soon become a part of Workday, a company incredibly aligned with our culture and passion for helping our clients attract, engage, and retain top talent. There are so many people to celebrate and thank today, starting with our clients — many of whom took a chance on a growing company doing something bold and new. Your trust, ideas, and partnership made all the difference. And to the many members of Team Paradox, thank you for rolling up your sleeves to do the hard work every day that’s helping us create the future. We look forward to advancing our vision together with Workday! For more on the news, here’s the link to the full press release: https://lnkd.in/g4He4t8y
