BOND is a San Francisco startup building Donna, an AI Chief of Staff for CEOs, founders and busy executives. Donna plugs into the tools a company already runs on - Slack, Gmail, Notion, Linear, Jira, Asana and more - learns how the organization actually works, and surfaces the highest-leverage moves: what shipped, who is blocked, and the top priorities for the day. Founded in 2025 by Chloe Samaha and Rene Sultan and backed by Y Combinator's X25 batch, BOND aims to give every founder an executive right hand that used to cost a six-figure salary.
Motion is an AI-native work management platform that started as an automatic calendar and task scheduler and has grown into an 'agentic work suite' for small and mid-sized businesses. It bundles projects, tasks, calendar, docs, notes, SOPs, sheets, reports, search and chat into one system, then layers AI 'Employees' on top that actually execute work - drafting proposals, prepping meetings, updating projects and answering clients. Founded in 2019 and backed by Y Combinator, Motion raised $60M in 2025 at a $550M valuation.
