Height
Height was a New York-based software company that built an AI-native project management and collaboration tool for product teams. Founded in 2018 by ex-Stripe designer-engineer Michael Villar, Height combined tasks, chat, and adaptive workflows in one keyboard-first app, then pivoted to an 'autonomous' model in which an AI agent called Copilot handled the routine legwork of building software - triaging bugs, updating specs, pruning backlogs, and drafting standups. Backed by roughly $18.3M in venture funding, Height competed with Linear, Asana, and Jira before winding the product down in 2025.
