Warp is modernizing the command-line terminal to boost developer productivity. Its Rust-based terminal offers a text editor-like experience, AI command suggestions, customizable themes, and the ability to share commands and workflows across teams. Founded by Zach Lloyd, a former Google Docs lead and principal engineer, Warp targets developers who want a more powerful and collaborative terminal.

Having raised $73M from investors including Sequoia Capital and GV, Warp is focused on expanding its Mac-first public beta (launched April 2022) to Windows and Linux. Key features include Blocks for grouping commands, deep shell integration, and GPU acceleration. Recent launches like Warp AI and Warp Drive introduced AI-powered command suggestions and team-based sharing. For developers passionate about shaping the future of computing, Warp offers an opportunity to modernize a critical but stagnant tool. The strong engineering team and rapid product iteration are draws for top talent eager to innovate in developer productivity. However, Warp will need to prove its new collaborative model delivers major efficiency gains to win over CLI purists who may be wary of closed-source software and mandatory user accounts.
