In their words

Warp is the AI-native employee management platform for high-growth companies. We run payroll, HR, compliance, benefits, and IT on a single platform for companies from 5 to 10,000 employees, using AI agents to complete the work that legacy systems leave to people. We've raised $85M from Battery Ventures, Peak XV, Sound Ventures (Ashton Kutcher), Sapphire, A-Star, SV Angel, and Homebrew Capital. Some of the fastest growing companies of today trust Warp to reduce HR and admin overhead so they build faster. We're proud to serve top startups like Serval, Bland, Greptile, Reducto, Corgi, Campfire, alongside our mid-size and enterprise customers. We're humbled to have the backing of people who have built some of the most important companies of the last two decades: Shopify CEO Tobi Lütke, former Stripe COO Claire Hughes Johnson, Dropbox co-founders Drew Houston and Arash Ferdowsi, former Coinbase CTO Balaji Srinivasan, Eventbrite founder Kevin Hartz, former Cruise founder Kyle Vogt, and Replit founder Amjad Masad.
