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.

Mission & values

Give every knowledge worker a personal AI chief-of-staff — auto-schedule tasks, defend deep-work blocks, and turn intent into a calendar that just works.
