Just to clarify the hacker news title says it was built in "6 days", the article says "60 days".

They updated the article it looks like. It originally said six in several places.

Edit: In fact, they left in one of the original references: "In six days they emerged..."

> Our goal is to get it live in 60 day

> In six days they emerged with a payroll system good enough to use for Zenefits' own internal payroll.

> After testing it with beta customers for a few months, Zenefits is now rolling it out to everybody and offering the service for free.

It looks like they got an MVP in 6 days and went to market in 60
