Flow is the first consumer voice dictation platform that people use more than their keyboards. We are a team of AI researchers, designers, growth experts, and engineers who step away from the status quo to rethink human-computer interaction. We like working with people who are high agency, open communicators, user obsessed, and detail oriented. We enjoy spirited debate, truth seeking, and impact. We have averaged 50% month over month growth in 2025, and have raised over $56M from Menlo Ventures, NEA, 8VC, and others.
