History

Warp was founded in June 2020 by Zach Lloyd, former Principal Engineer at Google and interim CTO at TIME.[5] Lloyd and an early engineering team decided to develop Warp as a modern version of the command line terminal. Warp was built natively in Rust.[6]

In April 2023, Warp announced Warp AI, which integrated an OpenAI large language model chatbot into the terminal.[7] In June 2023, Warp introduced Warp Drive for collaboration on the command line, which allowed developers to create and share templated commands with their teams using inbuilt cloud storage.[8] [9] [10]

In June 2023, Warp announced a $50 million Series B funding round led by Sequoia Capital. Warp previously raised a $17 million Series A led by Dylan Field, CEO of Figma, and a $6 million seed round led by GV with participation from BoxGroup and Neo.[11] [12] Notable angel investors include Sam Altman, Marc Benioff, Jeff Weiner, and Elad Gil.[13] [14]

In February 2024, Warp was officially released for Linux, sharing almost 98% of the underlying codebase with its macOS version.[15]
