The new startup go-to-market playbook. If you’re a startup founder or sales leader, this will help you accelerate revenue growth. Thanks for having me on @ThePeelPod, @TurnerNovak !!
New @ThePeelPod with @samdblond This is his first podcast since starting @MonacoGTM, and our 2-hour conversation walks through everything sales, marketing, and GTM in a AI-native world. Thanks to @numeral, @FlexSuperApp, @Amplitude_HQ, and @merge_api for supporting this
The playbook to launching your startup: Monaco launched less than 4 months ago. I work with our customers every day planning their launches. This is the high-level playbook we follow:
We just launched Monaco. Here’s the exact playbook we used. I hope it's helpful to other founders and startups: 1. The launch video: most launch videos I see orient around some stressed out person at their desk or some philosophical approach to company building. Do not do this.
💀 SF sky after plane ads post
The Monaco Plane: Economics and Impact. If you've been in SF over the last 10 days, you've likely seen the Monaco Plane flying around. I'm receiving countless messages asking about how expensive it is and if it's working. So here are those answers:
The $100,000 cash prize, no buy in, Monaco Invitational poker tournament is tonight. Who is the best founder poker player in the world? We'll find out tonight.
I joined Y Combinator with 14 users, building a dev tool for myself. Then @SaaiArora joined as CTO, and we started growing and shipping 2x faster. It forced us to rebuild product and infra from the ground up for teams, not solo devs. We are ending the batch with >300k agent minutes per week, and teams like @mintlify, @knowunity, and @modaflows shipping through Replicas every day. Today we're launching Replicas V2.
Use Monaco agents to automate the sales workflows agents are better at. Spend your time customer facing and executing creative campaigns (like planes with banners flying around SF :)) Grow revenue faster.
Today, we’re sharing a new state of the art for computer use. Our system holds the two highest verified scores on OSWorld, the standard benchmark for AI agents that operate a computer like a person: 83.6% using Claude Opus 4.7 and 81.5% using Claude Sonnet 4.6. The human baseline is 72.4%. 🧵 1/7
2 weeks until the greatest startup founder event of all time: The Monaco Invitational Part Deux. - $100,000 cash prize, no buy-in poker tournament - The best startup founders from all the fastest growing startups (Monaco customers) - Partners from the best VC firms in the world (@foundersfund @benchmark @humancapital @mantisVC @MenloVentures and more) - Celebrity guests - Insane food and beverage program - The coolest venue in all of San Francisco Attendees will remember this event for the rest of their lives.
So fired up to be backing Sam Blond and the team at Monaco. If you know Sam you know he's special and that he was just made to build this company. Monaco is the sales product I would have wanted at Lattice...a CRM with a clear north star to make startups more money.
We're announcing our $50M Series B led by Benchmark. Founders Fund and Human Capital are tripling down in the round. We gave Benchmark a sneak preview of our upcoming GA release. They saw the future of sales. We had a term sheet 2 hours later. The future of sales is Monaco.
The future of sales is Monaco.

We’re launching @JudgmentLabs today and announcing $32M in funding. As AI agents take on more of the work that creates economic value, they generate massive amounts of production data: the clearest record of how they behave with users, software, and the real world. Judgment builds infrastructure for improving AI agents from production data.
Top VCs are seeing the value Monaco creates and how it's disrupting the sales space. Excited to have Benchmark, Founders Fund, and Human Capital believe in Monaco's vision - and put their money where their mouth is.

I love my bot sales team. Superstars, all of them. Indefatigable. Have never worked with this many A players before. They all live in @monaco.
“The greatest startup event of all time” is back. Announcing the $100,000 cash prize, no buy-in Monaco Invitational (Part Deux). Bigger and better than the first: more founders, more money, more celebrity guests. This will be the largest founder poker tournament and party of all time. The best startups in the world run on Monaco. The best founder poker players in the world compete in The Invitational. June 4. San Francisco.
So @MonacoGTM closed me in one hour: literally one hour from demo to signing the (expensive) contract. Can't wait to ride the Ferrari of CRMs and see where we can go. The best part about the pitch: they say that @samdblond will teach you his ninja sales practices.
The advice - "You must use AI" must be made illegal. Of course, I am going to use AI, Bob.
Kierkegaard called it "the dizziness of freedom." Anxiety that comes not from a specific threat - but from openness itself. From standing somewhere with no walls. Building with AI, I've been feeling that a lot lately. medium.com/p/78e18fdfc6b6?
2 days until the greatest startup founder event of all time: The Monaco Invitational. - $100,000 cash prize, no buy-in poker tournament - Founders from all the fastest growing startups - Celebrity guests - Insane food and beverage program - The coolest venue in all of San Francisco Attendees will remember this event for the rest of their lives.
1 week until the greatest startup founder event of all time: The Monaco Invitational. - $100,000 cash prize, no buy-in poker tournament - Founders from all the fastest growing startups - Celebrity guests - Insane food and beverage program - The coolest venue in all of San Francisco We went big on the launch. We went big on billboards. And just wait to see what we do at this party. Attendees will remember this event for the rest of their lives.
