Monday.com was founded in 2012[7] by Roy Mann, Eran Kampf and Eran Zinman.[8] By August 2012, the company, then called Dapulse, raised $1.5 million in seed funding.[9][10][11] The product was commercially launched in 2014.[12][13] In June 2016, the company announced the closing of $7.6M in a Series A round.[14][11] The round was led by Genesis Partners, with participation from existing backer Entrée Capital.[11]

In April 2017, the company raised $25 million.[15] The round was led by New York–based firm Insight Venture Partners, with participation from existing Series A investors Genesis Partners and Entrée Capital.[16] In November 2017, the company changed its brand name from dapulse to monday.com.[17]

In July 2018, the company raised $50 million in a Series C funding round.[8] The round was led by New York–based growth equity firm, Stripes Group, with participation from existing Series A and B investors, Insight Venture Partners and Entrée Capital. In July 2019, the company announced it had raised $150M in a Series D round, bringing total funding to $234.1M. The round was led by Sapphire Ventures with participation from Hamilton Lane, HarbourVest Partners, ION Crossover Partners, and Vintage Investment Partners.[4]

The funding gave the company a valuation of $1.9B, making it a unicorn.[4] As of 2021, the company reported it was serving over 127,000 customers across over 200 business verticals.[18][19][20] In May 2020, the company won the 2020 Webby Award for Productivity in the category Apps, Mobile & Voice.[21][22] In May 2021, the company filed for a U.S. IPO.[23][24] The company went public on June 10, 2021.[25]
