Monaco is coming out of stealth with a total of $35 million and a public beta.
According to Monaco, the company has raised a Series A round led by Founders Fund, with existing backer Human Capital increasing its investment. The round brings Monaco’s total funding to more than $35 million. Angel investors include Patrick and John Collison, Garry Tan and Neil Mehta, among others. The company said the new funding will support hiring and product expansion as it scales.
Monaco positions itself as an AI-native sales platform aimed at early-stage startups. Rather than layering automation onto legacy CRM systems, the company said it is building an end-to-end platform that spans prospecting, demand generation and deal conversion. The goal is to replace the patchwork of point tools common in B2B sales with a single system that can recommend and execute actions, not just record user inputs.
“With Monaco, founders and early go-to-market hires can focus on engaging with qualified opportunities and closing deals, rather than assembling a sales stack and GTM strategy from scratch,” CEO and co-founder Sam Blond said in the announcement.
What are the features of Monaco?
Monaco’s platform:
- Automatically builds and scores a startup’s total addressable market (TAM), producing a stack-ranked list of target accounts
- Identifies recommended buyers using signals such as existing connections, job changes and custom web-based activity
- Generates tailored outreach campaigns based on embedded go-to-market best practices
The company was co-founded by Blond, formerly a partner at Founders Fund and CRO at Brex; Brian Blond, a partner at Human Capital; Abishek Viswanathan, previously chief product officer at Apollo and Qualtrics; and Malay Desai, former SVP of engineering at Clari. Monaco is now in public beta, with broader availability planned to follow.
“No product sells itself—though Monaco comes close,” Founders Fund Partner Peter Thiel said.
