Sparrow, the first and only end-to-end leave management platform for global enterprises, has raised $35 million in a Series B funding round led by SLW, bringing its total funding to $64 million. The company plans to use the investment to further scale its AI-powered platform and expand into adjacent areas of labor compliance.
Sparrow combines deep compliance expertise with intelligent automation to simplify the complex and often fragmented leave management process. Its centralized, employee-focused solution helps organizations streamline legal, payroll, insurance, and HR workflows, ultimately enhancing retention and employee engagement.
“Leave is complicated and stressful,” said Deborah Hanus, Sparrow CEO and cofounder. “It touches so many parts of an organization… Sparrow has centralized that data to truly make leave and adjacent areas of legal compliance stress-free.”

Sparrow’s impact is already being felt across industries. Angela Barker, Senior Director at Aura, emphasized the value of automated compliance, while Sonya Miller of Eightfold AI cited ROI as high as seven times the investment.
Andy Biladeau, Chief Transformation Officer at SHRM, noted, “Leave management has consistently been a leading concern for our members… It’s inspiring to see the meaningful impact Sparrow is making.”
Investor Matt Walsh of SLW highlighted Sparrow’s potential to lead a critical area of the HCM stack, while Jeffrey Katzenberg of WndrCo underscored the platform’s role in building stronger employee loyalty during critical life events.
