Congratulations to monday.com on reaching the $1B ARR milestone! 👏 Joining the ranks of only a select few SaaS companies that have achieved this incredible feat. 🚀 We're fortunate to have been a part of the growth journey and can’t wait to see what the future holds for the monday.com team. Onward and upward!
$1M to $1B in 8 years! Earlier this week, monday.com announced it crossed $1B ARR, achieving a milestone shared by only the most iconic SaaS companies. It made me reflect on my first trip to Tel Aviv in 2018; Roy Mann and Eran Zinman had signage in the office charting their path to $1B when they were only $30M. At the time, seemed like lofty aspirations, but Roy Mann and Eran Zinman make a habit of proving naysayers wrong and, as "step 1" below implies, they remain as hungry as ever for their next milestone -- still feels like early innings. Congrats team!

Big congratulations to EliseAI co-founders Minna Song (CEO), Stoyan (Tony) Stoyanov (CTO) and the entire team on the $75 million Series D and $1B+ valuation! 🎉 When it comes to residential leasing, the process has long been cumbersome for all involved. Nearly half of all rental inquiries go unanswered, and those addressed often face delays exceeding 24 hours, leading to financial waste for property owners and time lost for residents. EliseAI is solving this challenge with its conversational AI platform by automating property workflows and communications with renters throughout their entire journey. With a proven track record in improving the rental process, EliseAI has now extended its support to the healthcare industry by fully automating non-clinical tasks. Read more about why we’re excited to back EliseAI below, plus coverage from Kyle Wiggers in TechCrunch. 👇 We're looking forward to teaming up with fellow investors Navitas Capital, Point72 Private Investments, DivcoWest Ventures, and Koch Real Estate Investments.
