Very grateful for all our customers, investors, advisors, loved ones, and Moovers who made this possible.

Introducing Grader: the world's first AI CMO for restaurants.
It’s helped us drive over $1 BILLION in sales for our customers.
Grader outperforms human marketing teams. See how:
Today we’re announcing our $10M seed round co-led by @ActivantCapital and @HeadlineVC.
We're building the AI computer that can reason, act, and operate inside real business workflows, so that companies can become truly AI-native by default.
Announcing that @WillowVoiceAI has raised $4.2 million to build voice-first interfaces.
We started Willow after dropping out of Stanford freshman year to build a healthcare startup. It failed. We pivoted over 10 times, spent a year in the trenches, and learned how to build the hard way.
But we discovered something huge.
Voice scribes were giving doctors their lives back. They were able to focus on helping patients rather than wasting nights and weekends on paperwork.
That's when it hit us. If voice could transform healthcare, why not every knowledge worker? Why are a billion professionals still hammering away at keyboards to communicate with humans (email, Slack, writing) and AI (ChatGPT, Cursor)?
Today, thousands of professionals at companies like Canva, GitHub, and Webflow use Willow to work 5x faster.
We're building Willow to unlock voice as the universal interface where you can control any device, any app, any workflow simply by speaking.

The next decade will be defined by voice-first computing. The question isn't whether this transformation will happen. It's whether you'll be part of building it.

Airbnb's biggest advantage as a marketplace is that it's capital efficient to scale.
With Atlas, the first vacation rental REIT, Wander is hoping to eliminate that trade-off.
Capital to scale + complete experience control.
