Warp
AI-native payroll, HR, compliance, benefits and IT on one platform, with agents doing the filing work
Warp is a New York employee-management platform that runs payroll, HRIS, tax compliance, benefits and IT/device management for companies from about 5 to 10,000 employees. Its AI agents, paired with a rules engine, do work that legacy payroll systems leave to people: registering with state agencies when a company hires in a new jurisdiction, filing returns, resolving agency notices and provisioning accounts and devices. It covers all 50 US states and contractor payments in 150+ countries. Warp 2.0, launched in September 2026, adds Warp Agent, which starts onboarding, payroll and benefits setup once a candidate signs an offer and routes tasks it cannot complete to human specialists. The company reports 1,000+ customers, ARR that doubled in Q1 2026, revenue up 700% year over year, and $2B+ in payroll volume expected for 2026 (from $600M+). Founded in 2023 by Ayush Sharma (CEO; MIT CS and physics), Y Combinator W23. It raised a $60M Series B led by Battery Ventures in June 2026, bringing total funding to about $85M.
