We raised $5.7M from HOF Capital, YCombinator, Abstract Ventures, with participation from Kevin Hartz (A* Capital), Niv D. (Shrug Capital), Balaji Srinivasan, Elad Gil, Amjad Masad, Eric Stromberg, Dan Romero, Jordi Hays, and more.
3. What is Warp?
Warp is payroll, compliance, and benefits made for startups. We automate all the annoying tax registrations and filings that come with hiring in new states, so payroll can be done by the founder, for longer. Unlike dated platforms that try to get you to do 360 performance reviews on your team, Warp is designed to get in, get done, and get out.
4. Our customers
We’re lucky to have hundreds of ambitious startups who use Warp to simplify running their companies. Always on the cutting edge, our customers range from founders trying to turn the personal computer into a friend (Tab) to an AI devtool that turns Github comments into working code (Ellipsis (YC W24))
5. Who we are
We’re a team of builders who got so frustrated dealing with taxes, paperwork, and compliance as part of running a company that we decided to do something about it.
6. What does the big vision look like?
Warp’s mission is to build the best payroll, compliance, and benefits platform for startups. Founders have hundreds of fires to fight constantly, but running and paying your team shouldn’t be one. At Warp, we believe in craft, writing performant code, and giving an unparalleled user experience to our customers.

8. Any open roles?
Yes! We’re hiring for a backend eng role. We keep our team small, ship extremely fast, and are constantly working with our customers to develop new features. We pay top-of-market in cash and equity, and you’ll have lots of ownership. You’ll work directly with me and Adam Rankin. If that sounds exciting, DM me or him.
9. Finally, if you're in SF or NYC, we’re hosting in-person founders events next week. DM me if you want to join. And yes, there will be a few cool Warp hoodies we’ll be giving away at the events! Come hang with us.
