Monday.com Launches $200 Million Venture Arm for Israeli AI Startups

Monday.com has launched monday Ventures, a dedicated investment arm focused on Israeli startups building AI for the workplace. The initiative totals $200 million, with an initial $50 million to be deployed first; any expansion beyond that will require board approval. Individual investments will range from $1 million to $5 million, targeting early-stage through growth-stage companies in enterprise AI applications, AI agents, enterprise data, cyber, workflow automation and deep AI technologies.

The company said the goal is to help promising AI companies in its ecosystem grow, not necessarily to integrate their technology into Monday.com itself. CEO and cofounder Roy Mann said the move follows the company’s biggest strategic shift: “About half a year ago we made the most significant change in Monday’s history, and updated the company’s vision from a work management platform to an agentic AI platform that actually does the work. The launch of monday Ventures is a direct continuation of that vision. We want to support founders building the next generation of AI companies.”

The announcement comes as AI has pressured software companies, including Monday.com, whose stock has fallen about 47% since the start of 2026. The company said it has already made several investments in recent months. In September 2025, Monday led the seed round of Blocks.diy, an AI platform founded by former Monday employees Michal Lupo and Tal Hermati, in its first external investment. It also participated in Guidde’s Series B, which raised about $50 million, and in NanoCo’s $12 million seed round for NanoClaw, an open-source platform for secure AI agents.

Monday.com also said it has invested in another company that will be announced later. Monday Ventures head Aviel Yishai said, “In recent months we have already started investing in companies with great ideas led by outstanding entrepreneurs, and we are only at the beginning. The companies that will change the way organizations work in the AI era are being built right now, and we are happy to be part of their journey.”
