HR technology startup Comp has secured $17.25 million in Series A funding led by Khosla Ventures, marking the firm’s first investment in a Brazilian company. Co-founded by Christophe Gerlach, formerly an investor at General Atlantic, and Pedro Bobrow, a former Lyft product manager, the company develops AI-driven software to automate core human resources functions including recruiting, compensation planning, and performance management. Khosla general partner Keith Rabois has joined the board as part of the financing.
Comp combines its platform with “forward-deployed” HR executives who work directly with clients and help train the system using real-world workflows, with the long-term goal of fully autonomous AI agents. The company already serves major Brazilian firms including Nubank, QuintoAndar, and Creditas and plans international expansion beyond Brazil.
