Scale Venture Partners leads Series C as Motion’s revenue rapidly grows with “AI Employees” launch

SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Motion has raised a total of $60M across Series B, Series C, and Series C2, bringing its total raised to $75M and a latest valuation of $550M. The majority of the funding comes from the $38M Series C, which was more than 5 times oversubscribed, led by Scale Venture Partners, with Series B and C2 pre-empted by insiders HOF Capital, 468 Capital, and SignalFire. Y Combinator continues to double-down in each round, with new investors including Valor Equity Partners, Fellows Fund, Leonis Capital, and over a dozen unicorn founders. As part of the Series C, Motion welcomes Stacey Bishop of Scale Venture Partners to its board; she brings extensive experience in SMB and mid-market, having led HubSpot’s Series C and sat on its board, as well as leading Lever’s Series B, Demandbase’s series E, and Bill.com’s Series E.

“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

Motion’s B2B revenue has rapidly grown 3x YoY into 8-figures of ARR with over 10,000 SMB customers running their entire businesses on Motion’s agentic work platform. This growth is powered by the AI Employees product—agents that autonomously complete work inside Motion’s existing work management platform. In the three months since launch, the new offering alone has surged from $0 to 8-figure ARR. Customers at various levels of their organization, from senior leaders who cut down email and project tracking minutiae to junior sales reps who spend less time updating records, recommend Motion’s work suite because it frees them to focus on what matters, strategic and revenue generating work.

“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 building the first end-to-end agentic work suite—from sales and marketing to project management and client engagement—with agents natively embedded. Over the past 3 years they have built a significant part of the suite around agentic work management—including team project management, knowledge management, documents, sheets, calendar, meeting scheduling, business intelligence, and more, with many new applications to be released over the coming months. Rather than being bolted on, each application has been designed to integrate seamlessly with the others, all built with Agents at the core. The funding will be used to expand the team, primarily in engineering and product, to further develop the agentic work suite with new applications and agents.
