Founded in 2021, Warp is a venture-funded software startup headquartered in New York, NY, focused on redefining developer workflows through innovative terminal interface technology and AI-powered development tools. The company initially concentrated on modernizing the classic terminal to enhance usability for developers, with a mission to empower engineering teams to increase productivity and creativity by automating repetitive tasks. Over time, Warp expanded its platform to support agentic development, enabling multiple AI agents to run concurrently for managing coding, debugging, and deployment workflows.
Warp operates a subscription-based business model, offering a freemium tier for core terminal features alongside paid plans that unlock advanced AI-driven capabilities for individuals and enterprise teams. Its principal product, the Warp Agentic Development Environment, is designed for software developers, DevOps engineers, and technical product managers within the software development and SaaS sectors. The company maintains a small, growing team of approximately 30 to 40 employees and has attracted investment from leading technology figures and venture capital firms, including Dylan Field, Jeff Weiner, Marc Benioff, Sam Altman, GV, and others, with a total funding of $23 million as of 2022.
Warp remains an independent entity without subsidiaries or parent companies. Its online presence emphasizes professional channels via Twitter and LinkedIn, reflecting the typical social engagement norms within developer tools companies. Warp’s ongoing efforts center on enhancing software development workflows through AI orchestration, positioning it as a notable player in the agentic AI and developer tools market segment.
