Announcing our $2M Seed Round

Ethan and I were 18 and 19 when we dropped out of Berkeley and Yale to work on startups. Before we met, we were both grinding away hopelessly as solo founders for almost a year.

I had launched an early version of Martin on the App Store. When I demoed it to friends, they looked at me genuinely concerned. "Wait, you’re dropping out to work on this?” After a while, every new person I talked to would tell me to stop being delusional and just go back to school.

In 2024, Ethan slept on 15 different friends' couches. At one point, a guy's roommate kicked him out in the middle of the night, and he was basically homeless. When I met Ethan for the first time, he looked like he hadn't shaved in 2 months, and he had a couple weeks of personal runway left.

We were both at rock bottom.

But when we started working together, we realized we had two important things in common:
1) We shared a childhood dream of having our own JARVIS.
2) We refused to quit.

Fast forward 6 months. We are now iterating furiously with our first 10000 users, and Martin is becoming more powerful every day. You can now call, text, or email Martin. He manages your calendar, inbox, Slack, to-do lists, reminders, and more. He can also do research, make calls and send texts on your behalf. Over time, he gets to know you and proactively helps out.

And this is just the beginning.

Soon, every morning you'll wake up to a call from Martin, briefing you on what matters most. Your emails are already handled. 10 replies drafted, meetings scheduled, follow-ups set. Throughout the day, he books your rides, orders your meals, and sits in on your meetings. Martin won’t just follow orders. He’ll take the lead on your most ambitious, complex tasks.

We believe AI agents will become indispensable in every profession. If you’re a programmer, you’ll have a coding agent. If you’re in sales, you’ll have an outreach agent. In that world, we want Martin to be the agent closest to you—the one who knows your morning routine, your travel plans, your kid’s soccer schedule.

We’re lucky to have incredible investors who share this vision, including Y-Combinator, Pioneer Fund, FoundersX Ventures, Eight Capital, SV Tech Ventures, Sandhill Markets, Splash Capital, JJ Fliegelman, Manik Gupta, Andy Fang, and a dozen other angels. Martin wouldn't be here without your support, and we are thrilled to have you with us on this journey.

We’re shipping new capabilities every two weeks, and 2025 is going to be huge. We can’t wait to show you what’s next.
