Why Early Facebook Investors Backed a Self-Taught Aussie Dev | Finnlay Morcombe, FluencyAbout Fluency
Fluency is a Melbourne software company that maps how work gets done across an organisation, then uses AI to recommend which tasks to automate and to track the results. It began in 2023 as a process-documentation tool built out of Swinburne University's Innovation Studio. Finnlay Morcombe and Oliver Farnill co-founded the company, whose customers include AON, PVH and Specsavers. In February 2026 it raised a US$6 million seed round led by Accel.
