Macro is a New York-based 🏷️#saas company founded in 2020 by Jacob Beckerman (CEO) and Lev Breydo, building an all-in-one operating system for startups and knowledge workers. The product unifies messages, docs, tasks, email, and calls into a single app backed by a shared graph database — so every module reads and writes to one source of truth rather than a fragmented tool stack. Macro raised a $9.3M seed round led by 📝Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) in February 2023, with participation from Craft Ventures, BoxGroup, and Third Kind Venture Capital.
Macro began as a document editor, using NLP to parse PDFs and DOCX files and auto-generate bidirectional hyperlinks throughout — making long-form documents navigable the way codebases and web pages are. That initial focus on inter-company document workflows (law firms, asset managers, investment banks) gave way to a broader thesis: replace the siloed startup stack entirely. The current product positions itself as quieter than Slack, simpler than Notion, faster than Superhuman, and lighter than Linear, with AI agents that can pick up context from vectorized call recordings and a launcher for spawning agents, drafting emails, and managing tasks from a single interface. The codebase is source-available on GitHub (macro-inc/macro), built in SolidJS and Rust. Beckerman paid $600k for the macro.com domain early in the company's life — when it had roughly $2M in total capital — as a deliberate brand signal. Macro is SOC 2 Type II certified and ISO 27001 compliant, with zero data retention across model providers.
Haven't used it yet, but the architecture is directly relevant — a graph-backed unified workspace with AI agents running across all communication surfaces is essentially the same problem space MythOS operates in. Worth a close look, both as a competitive reference and a potential user.
