Warp 2.0 is live, now we need more people to build it. We are hiring for 20+ roles across eng, design, gtm, marketing and finance Come build people ops for the fastest growing companies

We’ve raised $85M for this moment. Introducing Warp 2.0: The first AI Head of HR. Every company is building AI to replace jobs. Warp is building AI to do the jobs no human should have to: If you work in HR, I want you to spend time with the manager who needs help or building company culture people actually want to work at. If you’re a founder, I want you to focus on signing clients or spending time with your family. You shouldn’t have to figure out how to register state tax in California. You shouldn’t have to pay outrageous penalties because you don't know what a DE 9C is. I want to make HR human again. Today, this is finally possible with the Warp Agent. I’d love for you to see it in action:

I'm hiring a GTM Engineer for Revenue Systems at Warp. The role: own the systems and infra our revenue motion runs on. Salesforce, Snowflake, Clay, Outreach, Gong. You write the SQL, build the data models and automations, and decide what the numbers actually mean. We're going from a handful of reps to 100+. Most of the infrastructure for that doesn't exist yet. You build it. You'll work with me, Ryan Murdock (built GTM ops as employee #35# at Ramp), and Thiago Bocayuva (ex sales leader at Brex). We build AI agents that run a company's entire people and HR ops. Our own GTM stack should run the same way. NYC, in person. Top of market cash and meaningful equity. DM me if you're interested.

we're hiring for 20+ roles across eng, design, gtm, marketing, and finance. come build with us what comes after Workday, with AI running all people operations at high-growth companies

Met Gabriella 9 years ago at MIT. I was a broke college student with nothing to my name. She was gorgeous, kind, and one of the smartest people i'd ever met. We clicked instantly. Everything since, we built together.

Every billboard in SF is about AI agents. Ours are about the humans. Warp took over the city with one message - bring back the builders and the dreamers. The best People leaders decide who a company becomes. They pick who gets hired, grow the people already there, and set the tone on the hardest days. None of them grew up dreaming about opening state tax accounts. We hand them that job anyway. Agents can do it now. The account opened, the form filed, the notice resolved before anyone knew it existed. What's left is the work that builds a company. Machines take the admin. People get the human parts back. It's Day 1.

Warp is taking over San Francisco with 32 billboards and 8 buses this month. This is our first major out-of-home campaign, so we flew the whole team out to see it in person. The campaign says one thing: move at warp speed, but never lose sight of the people building things that matter. We picked that line because of where a team's hours actually go. Nobody starts a company to run payroll or answer a letter from the state. They start it to build something, and the thing that gets built first is always a team. Every hour spent on filings and forms is an hour not spent on the people you hired. One of our panels says colonizing Mars requires AGI. Another says hire humans, pay them on Warp. Even in a world with agents, the ambitious stuff still gets built by people, and the more of your time that goes to them, the faster it gets built. Our job is to make everything else disappear so you spend time on what matters - finding the right hires, retaining them and building the culture they stay for. If you spot one around the city, snap a photo and send it my way. I'd love to see it! @warpdotco is engineered for performance and designed with soul. It's only Day 1.

Today we're announcing that Warp is now a preferred @stripe partner across Stripe Atlas and Stripe Startups, alongside great companies like Ramp, Linear, Vercel, and OpenAI. Our partnership with Stripe helps double down on our commitment to supporting founders from idea to IPO. Atlas and Startups companies get Warp's full platform free for six months, with every state registration covered. @chughesjohnson , Stripe's former COO, is also an investor in Warp. We have learned a lot from her about scaling a company that people trust with something this critical. Stripe Atlas now incorporates one in four Delaware companies. Delaware formations were up 32% year over year in January, and Q1 was the biggest quarter Atlas has ever had. Incorporating used to mean asking around for a lawyer, getting back a stack of documents you were not qualified to read, and signing them hoping you had not just made an expensive mistake with your own equity. Atlas turned that into something you do once and stop thinking about. Delaware entity, EIN, founder equity, the 83(b), a bank account, payments live. Two business days. The paperwork does not end when the company comes online. Every state is its own tax jurisdiction with its own agencies, registrations, and deadlines, and none of it connects to the thing you are actually trying to build. That is the part nobody automated, and it is the part that gets more expensive the faster you grow. Warp is the only AI-native employee management platform that automates registrations, filings and notices across all 50 states. Many of the fastest growing startups trust Warp to run payroll, HR, benefits, compliance and IT. 10-minute setup, 24/7 support, and over $100M in penalties saved.  Stripe made it possible to start a company from almost anywhere in about the time it takes to ship a feature. We want everything after that to feel the same. Ready to build that generational company you've been thinking about? From incorporation to IPO, use Warp and Stripe.

We just closed Q2, and July was our strongest quarter-end month at Warp Summer is the quiet stretch for payroll and HRIS. Most companies switch at year end, so the industry tends to coast through it. We used it to move faster. We booked 10x the net new business we did last July. Net revenue retention held at 125% as existing customers kept expanding onto more of the product. Payroll volume on the platform grew 20% in the month. Companies are running real head-to-head evaluations against the incumbents and choosing Warp. They're choosing it for compliance and AI automations that legacy players still solve (badly) by throwing people at the problem. Onwards

Three years ago I sat across from @harjtaggar, @garrytan, and 3 other partners for my YC interview. Ten minutes, and they grilled me the entire time! It felt way longer. I was certain I had bombed it. Then, that evening, Harj called me: "You're in." That was the start of Warp. We didn't have a full product or revenue, just initial sketches of the platform and a problem we were obsessed to solve. The path there wasn't obvious. I grew up in India, came to the US for MIT, and spent years working on large-scale machine learning before starting Warp. People thought this space was an odd place to start an AI company. But we had a clear thesis. This week, we announced our Series B with $85M in total funding. We're 50 people in NYC, scaling fast. And I got to sit down with Harj again, this time for Founder Firesides. We talk about: → Why I bet on an "unsexy" problem, and why that's exactly the point → What "AI-native" actually means, and why it favors technical founders → Where employee management goes from here Grateful to Harj and YC for the call that started it, and for betting on us before there was anything to bet on.

Today, we're announcing a $60M Series B led by @BatteryVentures, bringing our total funding to $85M in just under a year. Also joining the round are founders and operators who’ve built generational companies of the last two decades – @tobi (CEO, Shopify), @arashf (Dropbox), @chughesjohnson (Stripe), and more. The round came together in 6 days. Here's why. Every major category in enterprise software is seeing multiple AI-native challengers. CRM, ERP, ITSM – all being rebuilt from scratch by a new generation of companies applying AI to solve persistent problems we couldn’t before. Employee Management (also known as HCM) is the exception. It’s the last frontier, and we believe the most important one. The operating layer to manage people, run payroll, benefits, compliance, and IT, for every company in the world, is still built on architecture that predates AI by decades. This fundraise is the story of how Warp is changing that. The average Warp customer is growing 5x faster than their peers, with 1/10th of the HR and admin overhead. We’re seeing a massive shift happening in how the best companies run their people operations. From the fastest-growing AI-startups to massive public companies, the winning teams are running lean: HR, finance, and ops generalists who automate as much as possible, and use their time instead for strategic work that AI can’t automate. Warp is the platform of choice for ambitious companies operating at this new pace. Legacy HCMs help humans track the work. Warp uses AI to proactively complete the work. Workday was built for the last era. We're building for the next one. And it’s working. We've – - Doubled ARR in Q1 - On track to $2B+ payroll volume this year - Signed enterprise customers with thousands of employees - Launched entire product lines back-to-back: Warp benefits brokerage and Warp Fabric (our AI-native IT automation suite built in-house). A few thank-yous: 1. Our customers, the fastest-growing companies in the world, who trust us with their most critical systems. We wouldn't be here without you. 2. Our team - 50+ people in NYC who've built this platform, taken on the hardest problems in business-critical software. We're just getting started. 3. Our investors doubling down in this round, and some of our earliest believers – @sound_ventures_ (@aplusk, @epsteineffie), @PeakXV, (@arnavsahu341), @harjtaggar at @ycombinator, @balajis, @kevinhartz, @kvogt, @amasad, @HOFCapital (@myfady), @colinevans (@OpenAI) We're here to arm ambitious American companies with Workday-grade power, but with the usability and delight of an Apple product. With this new funding, we plan to fund deeper AI agents, tax and compliance infrastructure, expand our product suite, and support even closely our fast-growing customers. Come join us.
