The new startup go-to-market playbook.

If you’re a startup founder or sales leader, this will help you accelerate revenue growth.

Thanks for having me on @ThePeelPod, @TurnerNovak !!

The Monaco Plane: Economics and Impact.

If you've been in SF over the last 10 days, you've likely seen the Monaco Plane flying around. I'm receiving countless messages asking about how expensive it is and if it's working.

So here are those answers:

So fired up to be backing Sam Blond and the team at Monaco.

If you know Sam you know he's special and that he was just made to build this company.

Monaco is the sales product I would have wanted at Lattice...a CRM with a clear north star to make startups more money.

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.

$100,000 cash prize founder poker tournament. No entry fee.

Announcing The Monaco Invitational, presented by @MonacoGTM .

This will be the largest founder poker tournament (and party) of all time.

In addition to giving away $100,000 to the winners in the free to play tournament, we'll have celebrity guests, an incredible food and beverage program, and the coolest venue in San Francisco. This will be the event that sets the gold standard for startup events.

Gonna be a great first week!!

[Renzo Costarella @RenzoCostarella]

@catheryn_li Thank you Cat!! 🥹 Congrats on the launch and early success excited to keep crushing together !

[cat @catheryn_li]

Excited to announce that @simpleailab has raised a $14M seed round led by @firstharmonic.

For the past year, we’ve been building AI voice agents to transform direct-to-consumer sales. We fundamentally believe that voice AI is the future of all B2C calls.

@bendopfner It’s a pleasure to have you onboard Ben!!

[Pedro Franceschi @pedroh96]

I started a new company inside Brex to build the future of agentic finance. No BS, just builders building 996 and pushing production-grade agents to 30k+ finance teams, from startups to Fortune 500.

I’m now hiring engineers to work directly with me. Signs you’re a great fit:
- Building with LLMs for a few years (bonus points if pre-ChatGPT)
- Don’t need to explain to you RL, evals, synthetic data or why latency separates what’s real vs a toy
- Great product taste, loves working with Design
- Astronomically high agency, hates PM handholding
- Previously a founder (or wants to be a founder)
- Hates remote / ready for in-person action in SF/SEA

Brex accelerated growth 5x and cut burn 99% in the past 18mo. We’re not f*cking around.

If you crush this, you have what it takes to be a founder and I’ll personally back your next company. DM or email: [email protected]
