about seso

The crop doesn't wait

Growers face plenty they cannot control — weather, prices, water. By far the biggest challenge they face is finding and retaining a reliable workforce. When the harvest is ready and the workers are not there, the loss is permanent.

Seso is the all-in-one labor solution for the modern grower: navigating the H‑2A program, hiring seasonal workers, keeping compliance records straight, onboarding workers, and running payroll — in one system instead of six.

our story

Why we started Seso

Co-founder Michael Guirguis found the problem through his cousin, Marsha Habib, who runs Oya Organics — a sustainable organic farm in Hollister, California. Looking into why the farm struggled to turn a profit, one answer came back every time: the cost and availability of labor was the ceiling on the business.

Jordan Taylor, who grew up farming and had been a product leader at Farmers Business Network, joined to launch Seso. Today Seso is one of the largest H‑2A providers in the United States — and Oya Organics, the farm that sparked it all, is thriving.

where we are going

Solving H‑2A revealed how much further there was to go

Agriculture still runs on worker records in filing cabinets, payroll in spreadsheets, and compliance managed by
hand. We are building the whole back office, not one piece of it.

Seso is backed by BOND, Index Ventures, NFX, Founders Fund, and SV Angel, and has been recognized by Fast Company, Forbes, and AgTech Breakthrough as one of agriculture's most innovative companies. We're proud of the recognition, but we're more proud of the farmers who trust us to run their operations, and the workers whose lives are better because of it.

A lot of us come to work here from a farm of our own. These are a few of them.

Head of Partnerships, Jack of All Trades

When I found Seso, I saw a team actually building solutions to solve real problems for the growers across the country. Continuing to serve the industry that raised me is an honor.

Sullivan Line Livestock & Farm

Rachel Stoltzmann

Customer Success Manager

We are located in extreme Southeast Iowa on the border of Missouri and the farm has been in the family for 6 generations with the addition of our twins in 2025! We raise no-till corn & soybeans but our biggest interest is in grazing sheep & cattle year-round. I joined Seso because of my love for the hardworking people of the agricultural industry and a deep appreciation for where our food comes from.

Controller

My husband, Brandon, and I took over my family's commercial produce farm in 2022. My husband works on the farm full time, and I manage the back office around my day job at Seso. I joined Seso because I love agriculture and am passionate about making workers' lives better, both in working for an H-2A agent and as an employer.
