You

Moritz, Oliver and Carlo are saving a seat for Hone's first designer.

The problem

Outside coding, most organizations cannot absorb what models can now do.

Hone makes Persistent AI systems that take on business goals, not single tasks.

The people

  • Moritz Stephan · CEO

    Early Cognition engineer on Devin, then Chief of Staff

  • Oliver Brady · Co-founder

    Early engineer at Harvey; led Mercor enterprise engineering

  • Carlo Kobe · Co-founder

    Thiel Fellow; co-founded and ran Fizz

So far

Cognition, Modal and Lucanet are early customers.

$60M seed led by Benchmark and Index Ventures, October 2026.
