About Us

As founders ourselves, we get it—running a business is no small feat. Time and money are always stretched thin, and the daily decisions seem endless. It’s easy for people strategy to take a back seat when there are so many immediate fires to put out.

But here’s the thing: we have seen too many times, the impact of neglecting your people strategy early on creating bigger challenges down the road, limiting your company’s growth and potential.

That’s why we started Rhizome. Like the Rhizome of an Iris plant, we protect our clients through the challenging times and bring them the nourishment they need to grow.

By combining our HR and business expertise with a high-accountability consultancy model, we’ve created a solution that simplifies HR for startups and small businesses. We’re here to make sure you have the foundational people practices—the roots—that will allow your business to scale seamlessly and sustainably.
