Cloud HR platform suite for small businesses, Gusto, prides itself on its uniqueness.

The company could easily push its “Software as a Service” story and lay claim to the SaaS buzzword; yet, CEO Josh Reeves told Yahoo Finance's “The Final Round” he sees Gusto differently.

“We would not describe ourselves as enterprise SaaS,” Reeves said. “We live and breathe as five, 10, 20 person companies.”

That focus on the HR needs of 6 million small businesses in the US, has attracted more than $500 million from A-list investors, including T.
