People Ops partner · Built for UK startups

Your first People hire.
Automated.

Most founders don’t think about People & Culture until something goes wrong — and by then it’s expensive.

People Ops that grows with you. Getting it right doesn’t have to cost you everything.

UK startup founders get early access first.

The problem

Right now, you're probably doing one of these.

Paying a lawyer per document

£150–400 per contract. Every hire. That adds up fast.

Downloading a free template

Not tailored to your company, not current, and no one to tell you what's changed.

Ignoring it until it's urgent

A missing written statement of particulars is a statutory breach before day one.

Buying an HRIS you don't need yet

Built for HR teams, not founders. Expensive, complex, overkill for your first five hires.

The solution

Here's what good looks like instead.

The expertise is built in. The documents are the output.

Peopl'd doesn't just generate paperwork — it knows what needs to happen next and makes it easy to do. It stores milestones and meta, not personal data.

Compliant UK document generation

Employment contracts, offer letters, amendment letters, and onboarding packs — tailored to your company and your hire, in minutes. UK employment law baked in.

Employee handbook, ready to use

A complete employee handbook, populated with your company details. Policies, templates, and culture content — delivered in a format you can actually use, ready before your first hire.

Smart nudges — know what to do next

Peopl'd tracks your people milestones and proactively tells you what's coming: "You have a new joiner in 4 weeks — here's your onboarding guide." No more things falling through the cracks.

Legislation updates, pushed to you

When UK employment law changes — and it's changing a lot right now — Peopl'd flags what it means for your business and updates your templates automatically.

More as you grow

Peopl'd is built to sit above your tech stack — connecting the tools you already use as your team scales. Features are shaped by what our early users actually need.

Important

Not an HRIS.
Not an ATS.
Not a GDPR headache.

Peopl'd sits deliberately above your tech stack — connecting the tools you use as you grow. It stores milestones and meta — not personal data. The layer that makes everything else work better, from your first hire to your hundredth.

Who it's for

Three stages. One product.

Peopl'd grows with you — from your first hire to a team of 100+.

Founders · 0–20 people

Need to get compliant, fast.

You're time-starved, have no HR background, and you're about to make your first hire. Peopl'd gets you legally covered in minutes, not weeks — and tells you what to do next so nothing gets missed.

Scaling · 20–100 people

HR department of one, drowning in admin.

You know what good looks like, but you're buried in paperwork. Peopl'd handles the repeatable admin so you can focus on the work that actually requires you.

Growth · 100+ people

Small People team that wants to do meaningful work.

Culture, engagement, L&D — that's where your team adds real value. Peopl'd handles the paperwork layer so your people can focus on the people.

Meet the founder

Michelle Zappala-Wood

Founder, Peopl'd · People & Operations Leader

I've spent 15+ years working across financial services, private equity, and start-ups on both sides of the Atlantic. From boutique asset managers in London and California to Series B health-tech startups, I've seen — and had to fix — the same pattern: teams inheriting the consequences of poor people infrastructure. Misclassified workers. Contracts that were never finalised. Policies that were never written.
The cost of that isn't just financial. It erodes trust, creates legal exposure, and falls on whoever comes in next to clean it up.
I built Peopl'd because the founders I encounter are brilliant — and they deserve a tool that meets them where they are, so they can focus on what's critical.
