Brazil-focused HR technology startup Comp has secured $17.25 million in a Series A funding round to accelerate the deployment of its AI-driven human resources platform across the Brazilian market. The company develops software and AI-assisted tools that help businesses manage key HR functions including hiring, compensation strategy, and performance evaluation. Founded in 2022 by Christoph Gerlach and Pedro Bobrov, Comp combines AI-based software with HR experts who work directly with clients to design compensation frameworks, improve hiring processes, and optimize workforce productivity. The company aims to build a system where AI agents eventually automate many traditional HR operations, effectively functioning as a full HR team rather than just a software tool. Funding Round and Investors The $17.25 million Series A round was led by Khosla Ventures, marking the venture firm’s first investment in a Brazilian startup. The round also included participation from Kaszek, Canary, Abstract Ventures, and Endeavor Catalyst. As part of the investment, Keith Rabois of Khosla Ventures joined Comp’s board of directors. The new capital will support product development and help the company expand operations across Brazil and into new international markets. Comp is positioning itself as a technology-driven alternative to traditional HR consulting firms while competing with global HR software platforms such as Rippling and Workday. The startup already works with several leading Brazilian companies, including Nubank, QuintoAndar, and Creditas, as it scales its AI-enabled HR infrastructure across the region.
