Khosla's Keith Rabois backs Comp, which wants to bolster HR teams with AI | TechCrunch
"Our forward-deployed HR execs do all the work manually at first, and then they use that work to train the AI how to think in best practices. The idea, of course, is that over time, Comp's AI agents will become fully autonomous and capable of performing traditional HR functions."
"While companies in Brazil often hire compensation consultants, Gerlach says its forward-deployed HR executives shouldn't be viewed as consultants, but rather as extensions of existing HR teams. These executives also play a critical role in refining Comp's technology."
"Rippling sells software to junior HR teams to make them more productive. We become the HR team. To that end, Comp this week raised a $17.25 million Series A round led by Khosla Ventures, marking the VC firm's first-ever investment in a Brazilian company."
Comp is an HR tech startup founded by Christophe Gerlach and Pedro Bobrow that leverages AI and human expertise to transform HR operations in Brazil. The company provides AI-powered software for recruiting, compensation policy setting, and performance review design, complemented by forward-deployed HR executives who work as extensions of client teams rather than traditional consultants. These experts initially perform HR tasks manually, using their work to train Comp's AI systems in best practices. The long-term vision is for AI agents to become fully autonomous, ultimately replacing both traditional HR consultancies and conventional HR software. Comp raised $17.25 million in Series A funding led by Khosla Ventures.
