Exactly a year ago, @aquariusacquah asked to grab coffee at a small café in Hayes Valley, San Francisco, while I was visiting town. It was the week of Halloween, children were running around SF, and the city was flourishing. He said, “Today’s my last day at work. I want to start something of my own.” Then he added, “They say, talk to your smartest friends — so that’s why I’m talking to you.” The year since has flown by. In January, I moved to SF. February, we got into @ycombinator. March, we incorporated @joinkaizen. April, we started YC. May, we raised our seed from @8vc. Over the past six months, we’ve made incredible progress. @joinkaizen is deployed across public companies, healthcare organizations with 1,000 clinicians, and vertical software juggernauts like @tryaugie and @assort_health. In the last month, we’ve 4x’ed the workflows executed on the platform and we’re only just getting started. Today, we’re incredibly excited to open @joinkaizen to the public. We can’t wait to see what you’ll never have to do again. P.S. We're hiring! Send me a note if you or someone you know would like to join our incredible team — working alongside @conorxmccormack, @nmfaulkner_, @_niksrc, @aquariusacquah, and I.

Humans invented software to free ourselves from manual work. Somehow, we still waste billions of hours clicking across websites. Today, @joinkaizen launches to fulfill that original promise. Announcing our $4M raise from @8VC and the public launch of the Kaizen platform.

Today we're launching a new brand and website for Warp. Our last website was built 18 months ago. At the time, we had a handful of customers, a small team, and a product thesis that most people thought was a dead end. The feedback in 2023 from investors was consistent: the market's too fragmented, the incumbents are too entrenched, you're betting on technology that doesn't work yet. We didn't listen. Since then, Warp has grown to serve thousands of companies. We've processed hundreds of millions in payments, on track to $1B this year. Companies are migrating away from ADP, Rippling, Gusto. Some breaking their contracts to switch. We went from a payroll product to a full platform: HRIS, payroll, AI tax compliance, benefits, IT, global payroll. The first employee management platform that runs itself. At a certain point, the gap between what you've become and how you present yourself starts to work against you. So we rebuilt everything. The new brand is built around a tension we love: analog precision meets velocity. Technical, but warm. Engineered for performance, designed with soul. Think 1960s racing garage meets modern editorial design. It reflects how we build the product: obsessive attention to the details you never see. The invisible circuit boards are beautiful. We're just getting started. This is the next chapter.
