The Twenty Minute VC (20VC): Venture Capital | Startup Funding | The Pitch
20VC: Monday.com: Scaling from $6M to $120M in ARR in 3 Years | How Monday Have Built the Best Performance Marketing Engine in SaaS | Going Upmarket, International and Multi-Product; The Biggest Lessons and Mistakes with Eran Zinman

I think this was a pivotal moment for the company because if we would go and try to raise funds, you know, it's a long process, especially when you don't have momentum. Maybe the company wouldn't be what it is today, but because he gave us this runway, I think it really helped us kind of leverage the momentum we already had.

Yeah, so that's complicated. So we finished, we kind of ran out of money from the seed round. We actually, just to give you some data, we raised 1.4 million at, I think it was 2 million pre, that's back in the days. Good times. Yeah, for investors. 30% of the company. We got this convertible when we wanted to do the A round.

Actually, our existing investors put the money in with the convertible to get us into an A round. I think it was still hard for us to raise funds back in the days because people didn't get the idea. Maybe we also didn't do a good job raising money with Roy and I. What did they not get about the idea? I always felt like this company is going to be a huge success.

Yeah, so this is great feedback. I always felt like, you know, it's all temporary, like eventually we'll go upmarket, eventually we'll sell to large enterprises. I always believed in our ability to execute and to change the company to kind of fit to the next stage. And maybe that's something we didn't communicate well enough to investors or didn't build our confidence around that.

We got a lot of no's, I would tell you that in our A, B and C rounds. So is that when you raised the seven and a half million A? Yeah, with the convertible, it was seven point something. Yeah.

Okay, so something that I feel we've done, which was really meaningful to make the company successful in scale, we actually built a very powerful performance marketing engine. We call it BigBrain. It's a tool we built within the company to track every campaign, every user, We made an early decision in the life of the company to build this tool internally.
