Founding Story and Growth
Motion was founded in 2019 by Harry Qi, Omid Rooholfada, and Ethan Yu, three friends with experience in hedge funds. After being accepted into Y Combinator’s Winter 2020 batch, they decided to leave their lucrative careers to pursue building a productivity platform using AI. Since its inception, Motion has steadily grown its customer base and pivoted to focus on providing integrated AI agents for small and midsized businesses (SMBs), aiming to solve common pain points such as scheduling, sales, customer support, and content creation.

The Product and Model
Motion provides an AI-powered agent bundle that integrates multiple business functions, including:
- Executive Assistant for scheduling, email replies, and note-taking
- Sales Rep for outreach and follow-up
- Customer Support Rep
- Marketing Assistant for writing blogs and social media posts
The platform integrates with tools like Slack, Google Apps, Teams, and Salesforce, offering SMBs a cohesive solution without the need for expensive custom-built solutions. The company uses a pay-per-usage model, allowing businesses to scale as needed.
Impressive Traction and Vision
Motion’s rapid adoption and growth in 2025 culminated in a 5x oversubscribed Series C round and a $550 million post-money valuation. The company aims to become the “agentic equivalent of Microsoft Office,” providing a unified suite of tools for businesses, contrasting the fragmented nature of existing point AI solutions. Motion’s suite has resonated strongly with its customer base, delivering measurable productivity and cost-saving benefits. (
