Sparrow raises $35M Series B to automate the employee leave management nightmare


Sparrow raises $35M Series B to scale AI-powered employee leave management platform that has grown 14x since 2021, serving 1,000+ companies and saving $200M in payroll costs.

Perhaps most telling is the financial impact: Sparrow has saved customers more than $200 million in payroll costs by ensuring employees receive proper wage replacement from state agencies and insurance providers — money that would otherwise come from company coffers when paperwork errors prevent benefit claims. Silver Lake Waterman Managing Director Matt Walsh, who led the investment, sees Sparrow addressing “one of the most complex and underserved areas of HR by utilizing AI to automate the manual, error-prone tasks that companies and employees encounter today.” The company’s success also highlights a broader trend: specialized AI solutions that combine automation with human expertise are emerging as the preferred approach for handling sensitive workplace issues.
