Sparrow, a pioneering platform in employee leave management, has raised $35 million in a Series B funding round led by SLW, bringing its total funding to $64 million.

The new capital will fuel the growth of Sparrow’s AI-powered leave management system, designed to simplify compliance and streamline processes for HR teams. The platform supports organizations in navigating the complex landscape of leave policies, legal requirements, and employee needs — boosting both engagement and retention.

Companies like Eightfold AI have reported strong ROI from Sparrow’s platform.
