Today we're announcing that Warp is now a preferred @stripe partner across Stripe Atlas and Stripe Startups, alongside great companies like Ramp, Linear, Vercel, and OpenAI. Our partnership with Stripe helps double down on our commitment to supporting founders from idea to IPO. Atlas and Startups companies get Warp's full platform free for six months, with every state registration covered. @chughesjohnson , Stripe's former COO, is also an investor in Warp. We have learned a lot from her about scaling a company that people trust with something this critical. Stripe Atlas now incorporates one in four Delaware companies. Delaware formations were up 32% year over year in January, and Q1 was the biggest quarter Atlas has ever had. Incorporating used to mean asking around for a lawyer, getting back a stack of documents you were not qualified to read, and signing them hoping you had not just made an expensive mistake with your own equity. Atlas turned that into something you do once and stop thinking about. Delaware entity, EIN, founder equity, the 83(b), a bank account, payments live. Two business days. The paperwork does not end when the company comes online. Every state is its own tax jurisdiction with its own agencies, registrations, and deadlines, and none of it connects to the thing you are actually trying to build. That is the part nobody automated, and it is the part that gets more expensive the faster you grow. Warp is the only AI-native employee management platform that automates registrations, filings and notices across all 50 states. Many of the fastest growing startups trust Warp to run payroll, HR, benefits, compliance and IT. 10-minute setup, 24/7 support, and over $100M in penalties saved.  Stripe made it possible to start a company from almost anywhere in about the time it takes to ship a feature. We want everything after that to feel the same. Ready to build that generational company you've been thinking about? From incorporation to IPO, use Warp and Stripe.

That number has since doubled to 22.9%. • The top 100 AI startups on Stripe sell into a median of 55 markets within their first year. The median earns most of its revenue outside its home country.
