Motion, the AI-powered agentic work platform, has raised $60 million across Series B, Series C, and Series C2 rounds, bringing its total funding to $75 million and its latest valuation to $550 million. The majority of the new capital stems from a $38 million Series C, which was oversubscribed more than five times and led by Scale Venture Partners. Earlier rounds, Series B and C2, were pre-empted by existing investors HOF Capital, 468 Capital, and SignalFire. Y Combinator also increased its commitment in every round, while new backers include Valor Equity Partners, Fellows Fund, Leonis Capital, and more than a dozen unicorn founders.
As part of the Series C round, Motion has added Stacey Bishop of Scale Venture Partners to its board. Bishop brings deep expertise in SMB and mid-market growth, having played pivotal roles in funding HubSpot, Lever, Demandbase, and Bill.com.
“Motion reminds me of HubSpot in its early days laser-focused on building the best product for SMBs before moving upmarket. When I spoke with Motion customers during diligence, it was clear Motion’s agentic work suite solves a very real problem: these businesses want to use AI to run better, but don’t know where to start. Motion makes that leap possible.” Stacey Bishop of Scale Venture Partners
“They are one of the best YC companies and amongst the most formidable founders I’ve ever met.” Michael Seibel, former CEO of Y Combinator

The company has achieved remarkable traction, with B2B revenue growing 3x year-over-year into eight figures of ARR, now serving over 10,000 SMBs. Much of this growth has been fueled by its flagship AI Employees product, a suite of intelligent agents that autonomously complete tasks within Motion’s existing work management platform. Since launch just three months ago, the offering has already scaled from zero to eight figures in ARR. Customers across industries from executives looking to streamline project oversight to sales teams reducing manual record-keeping turn to Motion to free up time for strategic, revenue-generating priorities.
“Motion’s AI Project Manager cut our project delivery time by 30%. The Executive Assistant agent gives me back hours every week to win new clients. It’s the first platform where the AI feels truly built-in, not bolted – and Motion keeps shipping at a pace I’ve never seen before. I can’t wait to bring my entire business operations onto Motion with their upcoming new offerings.” Joel Peeples, CEO of Ally, an IT Services Company
“Today, big tech and Silicon Valley startups are harnessing AI to build highly efficient businesses. Fortune 500 companies have invested heavily into custom AI Agents built with forward deployed engineers. Our customers are SMBs who make up half of America’s GDP – everyday American businesses like IT services, marketing agencies, and construction companies. They are being left behind in this AI world, and we are going to help them win,” said Harry Qi, CEO and co-founder of Motion.
Motion is on a mission to build the first end-to-end agentic work suite designed specifically for SMBs. Over the past three years, the company has developed a robust foundation of agentic work management applications, including team project management, knowledge management, documents, spreadsheets, calendars, meeting scheduling, and business intelligence. Each application is seamlessly integrated, with AI agents built directly into the core of the platform not bolted on. The fresh funding will accelerate Motion’s expansion, particularly in engineering and product development, as the company prepares to launch additional applications and intelligent agents in the coming months.
