Monaco, the AI-native sales platform built to accelerate revenue growth for early-stage startups, today exited stealth and entered public beta. After strong adoption during its private phase, Monaco now offers a unified solution that automates the full sales motion—from building and scoring total addressable markets (TAM) to generating personalized outreach, taking call notes, drafting emails, updating systems of record, and providing strategic closing advice.

  • Monaco launches publicly with over $35M raised, led by Founders Fund, with participation from Human Capital (which incubated the company) and angels including Patrick and John Collison, Garry Tan, and Neil Mehta.
  • The platform replaces patchwork sales stacks (legacy CRM and point solutions) with a single, agentic system that proactively recommends actions and executes tasks.
  • Key capabilities include automatic TAM building and account prioritization, buyer identification using connections/job changes/web signals, custom outreach campaigns, meeting recording with note generation, email/system updates, and deal-closing guidance.
  • Built-in GTM best practices act as an embedded world-class CRO, enabling founders and early sales hires to focus on human-to-human engagement rather than stack assembly.
  • Public beta is now open; general availability to follow. Visit monaco.com for details.

Reimagining Sales for the AI Era

Startups often struggle with repeatable revenue due to limited sales expertise and fragmented tooling. Monaco addresses this by embedding a complete sales methodology into an AI-native platform. It shifts from reactive, user-dependent software to proactive, agent-driven workflows that generate demand and advance deals autonomously while remaining fully customizable.

“No product sells itself—though Monaco comes close,” said Founders Fund Partner Peter Thiel.

“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,” said Sam Blond, CEO and co-founder of Monaco.

The founding team combines deep domain expertise: Sam Blond (former partner at Founders Fund, CRO at Brex), Brian Blond (partner at Human Capital, former MD at Sutter Hill Ventures, CRO at multiple startups), Abishek Viswanathan (former CPO at Apollo and Qualtrics), and Malay Desai (former SVP of Engineering at Clari).

Monaco is positioned to redefine sales technology in the agentic era, helping startups scale faster by automating routine tasks and delivering intelligent, context-aware support throughout the sales process.
