description: >-
  Sparrow is an end-to-end employee leave management platform for employers in the United States
  and Canada, pairing software with a team of leave specialists to administer FMLA, CFRA, parental,
  medical and state paid-leave programs. The platform automates employee intake, files the
  associated insurance claims, coordinates with medical providers, delivers required notices, builds
  a personalized leave and financial plan for each employee, and reconciles leave pay back into
  payroll. Sparrow connects to customer HRIS and payroll systems — Workday, BambooHR, Gusto and ADP
  among them — by file feed rather than through a public developer API, and it publishes no
  developer portal, OpenAPI or SDK. The company was founded in 2018 in San Francisco by Deborah
  Hanus and Samarth Keshava, has raised roughly $64M across Series A and Series B rounds, and its
  shares are quoted on secondary marketplaces such as Forge Global.

    Sparrow ships leave management only as an end-user web application: its own FAQ answers the
    integration question with "Sparrow can integrate with your HRIS via file feed", there is no
    developer portal, and the backend its SPA calls (api.trysparrow.com, named in the
    app.trysparrow.com Content-Security-Policy) returns a bare 404 to every anonymous path including
    /openapi.json and every /.well-known/ location.
