Israeli work management company Monday.com has launched a corporate venture arm, Monday Ventures, with plans to invest up to $200 million in startups building the next generation of workplace technology, according to a report by Globes.
The move comes at a sensitive moment for the company. In February 2026, Monday.com’s stock dropped 21% after it issued guidance that fell short of analyst expectations, with investors also rattled by broader fears that agentic AI tools could disrupt traditional work management software.
Co-CEOs Roy Mann and Eran Zinman, who co-founded the company in Tel Aviv in 2012 as dapulse alongside Eran Kampf before rebranding in November 2017, have responded by accelerating Monday.com’s AI transformation, shifting from a work management platform toward what it describes as an AI-powered work platform where employees and AI agents collaborate to execute tasks and workflows autonomously.
Monday Ventures is a direct expression of that bet. According to Globes, the fund will initially deploy $50 million, with additional allocations subject to board approval. It will invest between $1 million and $5 million per startup, targeting Israeli companies developing technologies for the future of work. Aviel Ichai leads the fund.
Monday Ventures has already made three investments, with a fourth reportedly in the pipeline. One of its first bets was Blocks.diy, an AI platform founded by former Monday.com employees Tal Haramati and Michal Lupu. Monday Ventures led the startup’s seed round. The platform uses AI digital workers to improve enterprise workflows.
The fund has also invested in Guidde, an Israeli AI digital adoption platform. Guidde raised $50 million in an oversubscribed Series B in February 2026, led by PSG Equity, with Monday.com participating as a strategic investor alongside Norwest, Entrée Capital, Qualcomm Ventures, and Inkberry Ventures. Guidde’s platform is designed to train both human employees and AI agents on enterprise software, recording how employees actually work and using that data to generate video-based documentation. It serves more than 4,500 customers, including Anheuser-Busch, Bayer, Nasdaq, Yahoo, and SentinelOne.
A third investment in NanoCo, which reportedly raised $12 million in seed funding to develop NanoClaw, a personal AI assistant designed to automate tasks and workflows, has been reported but not publicly confirmed by the company.
Monday.com generated $1.232 billion in revenue in 2025 and has shifted its product toward AI-native workflows and a consumption-based pricing model. The launch of Monday Ventures reflects a broader shift across enterprise software as AI moves from productivity assistance toward autonomous execution — and a recognition that some of the most consequential workplace AI tools may be built by startups, not incumbents.
For Monday.com, the fund is more than a financial vehicle. It is a strategic bet that the next wave of enterprise software will emerge from startups building AI-powered systems that help people work alongside digital agents — and that Monday.com should be positioned to benefit whether those startups grow independently or eventually fold into its platform.
