@Standard_Cap @ycombinator @generalcatalyst @boltohq What's the compliance angle looking like for European teams? We're stricter than the US on data handling and most HR platforms still feel like they're built Silicon Valley first, everywhere else as an afterthought.

Congrats to Central on their $8.6M seed! Central is the AI-native platform that eliminates back-office work for startups. While HR/payroll platforms give you software to figure it out, Central actually does all the work using agents and human experts across payroll, benefits, compliance, accounting, taxes, and more. They've already processed $100M+ in payroll and 30% of customers have switched from traditional HR/payroll platforms.

One of the scarcest resources in healthcare is time. We’re building Almanac Health so physicians have more time to care for patients. After spending the last few months building, we’re thrilled to be launching Almanac, the first milestone in our mission to improve healthcare delivery. Almanac is a collaborative agent that works across your EHR and workspace to help you delegate work, explore research directions, and more! We’ve raised a total of $12M, starting with a $2M pre-seed led by General Catalyst, and a $10M seed led by F-Prime with participation from General Catalyst and Lightspeed. We're just getting started, and we can't wait to build the future of care alongside the physicians who use Almanac every day

Today we are re-introducing Warp, the AI-native employee management platform for payroll, compliance, benefits, HR, and IT that runs itself. We’ve raised $85M to rebuild the last great enterprise software category. We shipped more in the last 3 months than our first two years combined, so we made a video to tell our story and showcase the platform. Warp brings payroll, HR, compliance, IT, and benefits into one platform, from your first hire to your ten-thousandth. Payroll runs on its own, accurate and on time across all 50 states, and in 150-plus countries in local currency. Hire in a new state and Warp registers you with every agency automatically. When a tax notice shows up, Warp reads it, drafts the response, and files it across more than 10,000 jurisdictions. 80% resolve without anyone on your team touching them. The rest go to our in-house tax experts, not back to you. Onboarding runs itself. The moment an offer is signed, agreements, direct deposit, tax forms, benefits, and every account, app, and device get provisioned automatically. The day someone leaves, all of it deactivates in one action. Benefits work the same way. Warp is your licensed broker across every carrier for health, dental, vision, and 401k. You pick the plan. Enrollment, renewals, and every deduction into payroll happen on their own. Revenue has grown 100x in 2 years. 1,200+ companies run payroll, HR, and compliance on Warp. We're on track to process $1.7B in payroll this year. This is just the beginning of what AI-native employee management looks like. We can't wait to build the rest of it with you. Run your company at warp speed:

Excited to share that Concourse has raised a $12M Series A led by Standard Capital with participation from a16z, CRV, and Y Combinator to fundamentally change how finance teams work with AI agents. Concourse builds AI agents specifically for finance teams. Instead of spending 75% of their time on manual work, teams who use Concourse now produce 6x more analysis and create presentations in minutes. Over the last 12 months we’ve grown revenue by 19x, customer logs by 13x, and are now deployed inside large enterprises like Front, Tecovas, and Palo Alto Networks. Alongside our fundraise, today we’re making Concourse available generally so teams of all sizes can connect their data and start using Concourse AI agents in minutes.

We raised $4.8M to build Lamina Labs (YC P26) and make AI explain with video, not just text. Introducing Simi, the fastest way to make an explainer video. Give it a single prompt or document, and it can generate a one-minute narrated explainer in as little as 20 seconds, in 80+ languages. It works like ChatGPT, except the answer is a video. The round was led by Foundation Capital , with participation from Link Ventures and Y Combinator . This is our story. Thread below on what we are building at.

Today we’re launching Decawork (YC S26) backed by Y Combinator : one place for IT to deploy, govern, and maintain the internal AI agents running across a company. Every team is building AI tools/agents now. They go live with real access, no standard way to ship, nobody watching. With Decawork, every agent - built in Claude Code, Codex, or anywhere else - ships with its own identity and scoped credentials. IT signs off before it's live, sensitive actions wait for approval, and every run is watched from first to last. I built AI at NVIDIA, deployed at OpenAI and Meta. Aman (aman) built Barclays' AI compliance platform used by internal teams, then shipped agents to 100K+ monthly users. We lived this and quit to solve it. Internal AI agents/tools piling up at your company? Chat with us founders[at]decawork[dot]ai or
