We’re excited to announce that Warp is now a preferred partner across Stripe Atlas and Stripe Startups, joining a small group of companies that includes Ramp, Linear, Vercel, and OpenAI.
Stripe already solved the hardest part of starting a company. This partnership is about solving what happens next.
Forming your company in Delaware doesn't remove tax obligations in other states where your team works. Every state you hire into is its own tax jurisdiction, with its own agencies, registrations, and deadlines.
Stripe Atlas forms your Delaware LLC or C-corp and files your EIN application. After that, Warp keeps you compliant.
Warp is the only AI-native HR and payroll platform built for ambitious companies. Instead of clicking through clunky dashboards or .gov websites, Warp's AI agents open every state tax account, file every payroll form, and resolve every tax notice, automatically, with a dedicated Account Manager and Benefits Advisor guiding you through it. Startups running on Warp have saved more than $100M in penalties to date.
What Atlas and Startups companies get
Every company that incorporates through Stripe Atlas or joins Stripe Startups gets:
- Warp's full platform, free for six months. Payroll, HR, benefits, and compliance, running from day one instead of bolted on after the first hire.
- Every state registration covered. The moment you add an employee's work location, Warp opens the state tax accounts, so you never have to.
- A dedicated Account Manager and Benefits Advisor. A real person who walks you through payroll setup, multi-state expansion, and benefits selection, not a support ticket queue.
- 10-minute setup, and support that doesn't put you on hold with a tax agency.
Why we're doing this with Stripe
Claire Hughes Johnson, Stripe's former COO, is also an investor in Warp. We've learned a lot from her about scaling a company that people trust with something this critical, and this partnership is a direct extension of that. Atlas already gets the incorporation moment right. We built Warp to get everything after that right too, so a founder never has to choose between moving fast and staying compliant.
"Stripe made it possible to start a company from almost anywhere in about the time it takes to ship a feature," said Ayush Sharma, founder and CEO of Warp. "We want everything after that to feel the same. Incorporating shouldn't take two days and then hand you a compliance problem that takes two years."
From incorporation to IPO
Stripe gets you started. Warp supports you from incorporation through IPO, covering every state you expand into, every employee you hire, and every benefit you add, so your early team can focus on building, not compliance.
If you're incorporating through Stripe Atlas or building with Stripe Startups, your six months of Warp, with every state registration covered, are ready when you are.
