In November 2017, the company changed its brand name from daPulse to monday.com.[14]
In July 2018, the company raised a $50 million Series C funding round.[15] 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 raised a $150 million Series D round, bringing total funding to $234.1 million. The round was led by Sapphire Ventures with participation from Hamilton Lane, HarbourVest Partners, ION Crossover Partners and Vintage Investment Partners.[5]
