The most consequential AI lives where people do the work. It runs in the cab, in the yard, and at the job site, keeping people safe and keeping work moving.
Today, Motive announces new capital to build and scale that vision for our customers.
Motive has secured more than $1.3 billion in growth financing from General Catalyst’s Customer Value Fund (CVF). The capital goes toward advancing our AI platform, scaling our go-to-market teams, and extending our reach within the world’s largest and most complex organizations.
“Motive is building the intelligence layer for the physical economy,” said Shoaib Makani, co-founder and CEO of Motive. “AI that can see what’s happening on the road and in the field, understand what matters, and take action. For our customers, that means preventing collisions, avoiding downtime, and eliminating manual work.”
Additionally, Pranav Singhvi, Managing Director at General Catalyst, joins Motive’s Board of Directors.
“The physical AI market, and edge AI specifically, represents one of the most compelling long-term opportunities we see today,” said Singhvi. “Motive is at the forefront of that, with the market-leading platform that puts AI to work in the field, on the road, and on the job site in ways that deliver immediate, tangible ROI to customers.”
The capital also supports growth of Motive’s go-to-market teams under an experienced enterprise leader. Earlier this year, Motive named Thomas Hansen as its first President, Go-to-Market. Hansen spent decades scaling software and hardware companies, with senior leadership roles at Amplitude, Dropbox, and Microsoft.
Nearly 100,000 customers rely on Motive today, from Fortune 500 enterprises to small businesses. This financing accelerates Motive’s ability to reach more organizations operating fleets and serve them better.
