Warp is an AI-native payroll, compliance, and benefits platform built for high-growth startups. It automates the back-office grind - multi-state tax registrations, filings, benefits enrollment, global contractor payments, and compliance-notice resolution - so founders can hire, onboard, and pay teams anywhere in the US and 150+ countries without the manual admin. Backed by Y Combinator and Sound Ventures, Warp has raised about $24-25M to build what it calls an autonomous back office.
