HR tech startup Deel has filed an amended complaint against Rippling, accusing the company's employee of impersonating a legitimate Deel customer to gain unauthorized access.
Deel's complaint also includes insults towards Rippling's CEO, Parker Conrad, and speculates that Rippling targeted Deel due to a perceived vendetta against Deel's investor, Andreessen Horowitz.
Deel alleges that Rippling planted false claims about them in the press and with regulators, and refers to actions taken after an investigation stemming from 2023.
Rippling denies some of the allegations and asserts its commitment to fair competition, while Deel claims profitability and revenue generation of over $1 billion.
