Ayush Sharma — Founder
Founder and CEO of Warp. Building employee management that runs itself. Payroll, compliance, and benefits have been stuck in the 80s. Legacy vendors like ADP and Paylocity profit from complexity instead of eliminating it. We built Warp to remove it entirely through AI, obsessive engineering, and a philosophy of subtraction. Thousands of companies trust Warp to handle payroll across 50 states, resolve compliance notices before they see them, and automate employee management work that slows them down. Backed by $25M from Sound Ventures, Y Combinator, SV Angel, Homebrew, and the founders of Dropbox, Replit, and Cruise. Previously: CS and Physics at MIT. Grew up in a small town in India, became the first student from a state of 250M+ people admitted to MIT.
