Blocks, the AI-powered platform for teams, secures $10 million in a seed round led by monday.com, marking its debut investment, with additional backing from Qumra Capital and Entree Capital. The funding will accelerate Blocks’s mission to provide a complete workspace for building and adopting intelligent work tools and AI agents while maintaining full control over data and integration. This allows anyone, regardless of technical background, to create custom solutions to improve work processes and avoid settling for generic off-the-shelf solutions
Founded less than a year ago by two monday.com alumni, Blocks is the first to combine an AI app builder with smart AI agents that act as productivity multipliers. These agents go beyond storing data—they extract it, analyze it, act on it, and coordinate across systems automatically, while professionals maintain control over how the custom tools behave. Blocks also integrates with existing platforms like HubSpot CRM, LinkedIn, Gmail, monday.com boards, Notion, and Snowflake, ensuring custom apps and smart agents work with existing applications. This represents a shift in work tools: from passive systems that require constant human input to intelligent tools that actively perform and work.
Blocks also offers a marketplace of templates, created by community experts in their fields, which can be used instantly or customized to fit specific needs. The platform has already been widely adopted by professionals across industries, including hospitals, venture capital funds, construction companies, and operations managers at tech companies.
Built for teams, Blocks offers prebuilt workspaces for collaboration on projects between colleagues, clients, vendors, and partners. The platform maintains strict compliance standards, including SOC 2, ISO 27001, and GDPR requirements, ensuring that even the most customized AI agents and work tools meet the security and regulatory standards that companies demand. This means professionals can build exactly what they need without compromising on the security, scalability, or compliance requirements their companies require.
“During the seven years I led product development at monday.com, I saw firsthand how no-code tools improved workplace efficiency,” explains Michal Lupu, Co-Founder and CEO of Blocks. “AI technologies have dramatically lowered the barriers to software development, but Blocks takes a step further, empowering every employee to build smart work tools and AI agents tailored to their exact needs. All of this is done in a secure and controlled environment, without the need for an extensive development team, something that was previously out of reach.”
“During the years of joint work with Michal and Tal in their senior positions at Monday, we got to know closely their excellent strategic, execution, and technological capabilities,” notes Roy Mann, co-founder and CEO of monday.com. “We are proud that this is our first investment in an external company. This is an opportunity to support exceptional entrepreneurs whom we know deeply and believe in their ability to build the future of the workplace.”
“Michal and Tal identified an exceptional opportunity to revolutionize the world of organizational efficiency,” says Erez Shachar, Managing Partner at Qumra Capital. “They understood that the real power of AI lies in the ability to make it accessible to every employee, regardless of their technological background. We are excited to support their important mission, to enable every organization to develop personalized AI tools and leverage the amazing potential of artificial intelligence to create smarter, more efficient, and better workplaces.”
