  In this contribution, the first results of HAWC, searching for VHE gamma-ray
emission from gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) reported by $\mathit{Swift}$, are
presented. The HAWC gamma-ray observatory is operating in central Mexico at an
altitude of 4,100 m above sea level. With an instantaneous field of view of
approximately 2 sr and over 95% duty cycle (up time fraction), HAWC is an ideal
detector to perform ground-based gamma-ray observations of GRBs. Though
optimised for TeV observations, HAWC has significant sensitivity to short
transients of energies as small as 50 GeV. The analysis method used for fast
online and offline HAWC follow up of GRBs reported by satellites is described.
