Monaco: Sam Blond Launches $35M AI-Native Sales Platform With Human-Guided Agents to Challenge Salesforce
Former Founders Fund VC and Brex president Sam Blond launched Monaco out of stealth with $35M ($10M seed + $25M Series A, both led by Founders Fund, Human Capital participating). Monaco bundles an AI-native CRM, a from-scratch ZoomInfo-like prospect database, and AI agents that create and execute email campaigns monitored by experienced human sales experts in the loop. It targets seed/Series A startups competing directly with HubSpot today and Salesforce long-term — framing the moment as 'the next platform shift that will lead to a new market leader.'
