What is Motion?

Motion is an AI-native productivity platform that auto-schedules tasks across your calendar, founded in 2019 by Harry Qi (CEO), Omid Rooholfada, Ethan Yu, and Jaime Donnelly. The product unifies a calendar, project manager, and AI scheduler, users add tasks (with deadlines, priorities, and durations) and Motion's planner places them on the calendar around meetings, recurring blocks, and team workloads. The platform has grown to 10,000+ paying customers spanning consultants, founders, knowledge workers, and small-to-mid-market teams, with annualized revenue of ~$10M (per GetLatka). In September 2025 Motion closed a $60M Series C led by SignalFire at a **$550M valuation**, bringing total funding to **$102M** across 5 rounds with participation from 9+ investors. Motion ships rapid AI-driven upgrades, most recent releases focus on AI agents that book / reschedule meetings, draft project plans from text prompts, and integrate with Notion, Slack, Salesforce, Hubspot, Gmail, Asana, Outlook, and more. The team has scaled to ~108 employees as of April 2026.
