Warp Raises $60M Series B for AI Agents That Handle Startup Payroll, Compliance, and Benefits

June 26, 2026

Warp’s AI native employee management platform has caught the attention of many fast-growing companies, which has allowed them to already double ARR in Q1 of this year. And this attracts investors, resulting in the just announced $60 million Series B.

Warp knows how to use this capital productively to deliver even more value to customers, having just launched two major products back to back: Warp benefits brokerage and Warp Fabric, their AI-native IT automation suite. And so while team growth is certainly part of the plan, it’s notable that they’re focusing on company productivity, not just company size. In CEO Ayush Sharma’s own words:

“We've grown from 15 people to more than 50 in the last six months, all in person in New York, and expect to reach 200 over the next year. That said, our goal isn't to build the largest organization possible. It's to build a company where AI gives every employee extraordinary leverage. Our team is already remarkably lean relative to what we've built, and we expect that to stay true as we grow. The same philosophy that shapes our product, that software should eliminate complexity and amplify human potential, also shapes how we build Warp itself.”

We’ve seen this thoughtfulness in Ayush’s leadership across these early years and believe he’s intent on building a great, enduring company. As a result, it’s easy to support him as an investor and recommend Warp to others.

So, if Warp sounds like a platform that your company would benefit from, check them out. And if this sounds like a place where you could do your best work alongside talented colleagues, they’re hiring.
