Flow Club
Flow Club is a virtual coworking community that runs live, hosted focus sessions where people work side-by-side on video to get into flow and beat procrastination. Built around 'body doubling' - the idea that the quiet presence of others working keeps you on task - each 50-minute sprint opens with quick goal-setting, runs on focused silence with music, and closes with a recap. Founded in 2020 by Ricky Yean and David Tran, the Y Combinator (S21) startup has become a popular tool for remote, independent, and neurodivergent workers, often described by its founders as 'Peloton for coworking.'
Motion
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.
