# **Our Story.** Why we started Warp and where we're going. Starting a company is magical, filled with equal parts excitement and nervousness. But no one starts a company to deal with paperwork, payroll, or tax compliance across thousands of jurisdictions. For decades, the software companies use to run their operations has been stuck in the past. Clunky systems that slow you down, built by incumbents who profit from complexity rather than eliminating it. Even "modern" players are built on the same antiquated approach: throw people at problems instead of truly automating them. Frustrated with the status quo, we decided to build something insanely great. Something that keeps up with how fast modern companies move. Something that uses AI to handle complexity others consider impossible to solve. We called it Warp to signify speed. Built for companies that move fast. # **Our Values** The principles that guide how we work and what we build. ### 01.Move at Warp Speed Action produces information. Even without full conviction, act and learn. Small iteration loops compound to massive advantages. We ask: why can't it be done today instead of tomorrow? ### 02.Care Deeply About Quality Quality vs. speed is a false dichotomy. People who move fast also produce the highest quality work. No task is trivial, no detail too small. How you do one thing is how you do everything. ### 03.Act Like an Owner Care about outcomes, not just tasks. See the gaps and work to close them. Get things done without waiting for perfect instructions. Owners need minimal management. ### 04.Be Product & Engineering-Driven Our founding DNA is technical. When faced with a problem, we default to software and automation rather than manual processes. We win by building the most technically superior product. ### 05.Win When Our Customers Win Warp wouldn't exist without our customers. We fight for them every day. It's not enough that they like our product, they must love it. Anything short of that means there's work to do. # **Our Team.** The people behind Warp. ### Ayush Sharma Founder & CEO ### Adam Rankin CTO ### Gabriella Garcia Special Projects Lead ### Thiago Bocayuva Head of Sales ### Nicole Chinuntdet Head of Customer Success ### Dylan Munn Head of Benefits ### Raphael Salaja Design Engineer ### Wyatt Schulte Sr. Product Engineer ### Grayson Stiles Product Designer ### Joshua Newman Product Engineer ### Amna Kapur Product Engineer ### Neil Akalwadi Product Engineer ### Lawrence Park Growth Engineer ### Sarah Hunter Founding GTM ### Kendall Keahey GTM ### Hayk Ghon GTM ### Allan Lvov GTM ### Will Kostrzewsky Founding GTM ### Patric Song Growth ### Brandon Novarro Growth ### Victoria Eisenhauer Growth & Strategy ### Guy Easterling Growth & Strategy ### Manveer Singh Growth ### Nicole Sievers Content Marketing Lead ### Eliza Cain Senior Customer Activation Manager ### Ben Shein Senior Account Manager ### Lara Páircéir Product Operations Specialist ### Ash Sanchez Product Operations Specialist ### Ace Tajong Tax Operations Lead ### Sarah Bai Head of Operations # **Backed by the best.** From technical founders and investors who've built iconic companies.
