Monaco Emerges From Stealth With $35M to Build AI-Native Sales Platform With Human Oversight

Monaco, an AI-driven sales technology startup co-founded by brothers Sam Blond and Brian Blond, has emerged from stealth with $35 million in funding across a $10 million seed round and a $25 million Series A led by Founders Fund, with participation from Human Capital. The founding team also includes Abishek Viswanathan and Malay Desai, bringing product and engineering leadership experience from major enterprise software companies.

The company is developing an AI-native sales platform that combines automated prospecting, outreach, CRM capabilities, and meeting coordination with human experts who monitor and guide AI agents. Monaco targets early-stage startups seeking enterprise-grade sales capabilities without building large teams. High-profile angel investors include Patrick Collison, John Collison, Garry Tan, and Neil Mehta. The platform is now available in public beta after a period of private testing.
