Monaco

The future of sales.

Backed by Benchmark, Founders Fund & Human Capital.

[Sam Blond @samdblond]

Use Monaco agents to automate the sales workflows agents are better at.

Spend your time customer facing and executing creative campaigns (like planes with banners flying around SF :))

Grow revenue faster.

The future of sales is Monaco.

We're announcing our $50M Series B led by Benchmark. Founders Fund and Human Capital are tripling down in the round.

We gave Benchmark a sneak preview of our upcoming GA release. They saw the future of sales. We had a term sheet 2 hours later.

The future of sales is Monaco.

So @MonacoGTM closed me in one hour: literally one hour from demo to signing the (expensive) contract.

Can't wait to ride the Ferrari of CRMs and see where we can go.

The best part about the pitch: they say that @samdblond will teach you his ninja sales practices.

We launched 60 billboards across San Francisco and Highway 101 this week.

Most startup billboards are forgettable. Ours is just a giant $. 

Here’s the Monaco billboard strategy and what startups should know before spending money on out-of-home advertising 🧵

We just launched Monaco. Here’s the exact playbook we used. I hope it's helpful to other founders and startups:

1. The launch video: most launch videos I see orient around some stressed out person at their desk or some philosophical approach to company building. Do not do this.

[Monaco @MonacoGTM]

@saastr. Day One. 6-figure deal booked. No big deal. Just Monaco.

[Brian Blond @brianblond]

@MonacoGTM paid for itself in one day!

[Jason ✨👾SaaStr.Ai✨ Lemkin @jasonlk]

Yesterday was chaotic in a good way.

A ton of demand. Appreciate everyone reaching out.

We also realized after the fact that we forgot to post the usual launch content, so:
📸 Nasdaq Times Square
📸 Trucks
📸 Poker Sets

If you’re booked out more than 2-4 weeks and believe you’re a great candidate to get started early, reach out to [email protected].

@samdblond will be hosting live webinars next week as well. Sign-up below. Details coming soon.

I've tried probably a dozen CRMs over the years.

Monaco is the first one that really understands the end-to-end lifecycle... not just "managing pipelines" but sourcing, scoring, self-driving pipeline management, midfunnel-engagement... The product actually looks like this and does this btw, this isn't a sizzle reel. And the team moves really fast and the rate of improvement is crazy.

Honestly, calling it a CRM feels like a disservice, it's more like a GTM Machine.

Congrats to Sam and the team on the launch!

anyone else get hit with 5 online/irl touchpoints by Monaco today?

[Malay Desai @malay_desai]

The step-change in AI capabilities gives us a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to rethink legacy workflows and the fragmented world of revenue systems - and to build something substantially simpler, automated, and connected from the ground up.

That’s the core belief on which @brianblond, @samdblond, @abishekv and I started Monaco.

This requires a modern architecture all the way from the data layer to the UI, and everything in between. Over the past few months, we’ve been building exactly that alongside some of the fastest-growing startups as our early customers. Monaco handles the full sales motion end-to-end. Prospecting. Outreach. Pipeline. Deal tracking. All AI-native, all integrated, all actually talking to each other.

We’re super excited to finally share it with the world today.

We ripped out Hubspot, Attio, and a disparate suite of sales tooling in favor of Monaco.

If you care about working with a vendor whose team is genuinely customer obsessed, I couldn’t recommend it more.

We don’t find it necessary to request support often (product works!) but I swear their team’s average response time is 2 mins.
