Its HR and payroll platforms are used in over 160 different countries, and it has a valuation of $3.7 billion. But in January Papaya CEO Eynat Guez moved the company's funds out of Israel, blaming the uncertain business climate on political instability. And she's now urging her peers to do the same.
