The platform can also help sync an app with enterprise employee directory systems, Grinich claims, with a dashboard that lets customers manage connected identity providers and directories. Grinich founded WorkOS in 2020, roughly three years after leaving Nylas, the eponymous company behind the open source email client Nylas, after Nylas shuttered the app and pivoted to sales infrastructure. Grinich claims that WorkOS has over 200 paying customers today including Vercel, Stripe, Scale, and Airtable.
