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 🧵

[Sam Blond @samdblond]

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.

[Sam Blond @samdblond]

Monaco booked a 6 figure opportunity on day 1.

Incredible testimonial from @MonacoGTM customer @jasonlk from @saastr .

@teej_dv then how would any java code get shipped?

[Neovim, e/plugins @Neovim]

in #neovim 0.9 (unreleased) the ":write" command gained the "++p" flag, so this:

:edit parent/dir/file.txt
:write ++p

creates parent/dir/ if it doesn't exist.
