About the company
What they build and who they serve.
Monk is an AI-native accounts receivable platform for B2B companies, automating the full contract-to-cash lifecycle from invoicing and collections through cash application and dispute resolution. The company wraps each model call in deterministic code so AI-generated financial actions stay auditable, and counts AI-native firms such as ElevenLabs and Profound among its customers. Founded by George Kurdin and Joe Zhou and based in New York, Monk publicly reports managing over $1B in customer receivables.
Why it matters
Signals from funding, traction, and product direction.
- Series A was co-led by Footwork (Nikhil Basu Trivedi) and Acrew Capital (Lauren Kolodny), with continued backing from existing seed investor Better Tomorrow Ventures (BTV). The round brings total capital raised to $29M, following a $4M seed led by BTV in spring 2025.
- Monk reports managing over $1 billion in receivables across its customer base. Published metrics cite an average 40% reduction in days sales outstanding, 25+ hours per month saved per AR team, and a 24% higher collections response rate versus automated email templates.
- Named customers include AI-native companies ElevenLabs and Profound. The platform wraps each AI model call in deterministic code tested against thousands of edge cases to meet accuracy requirements for real-money AR workflows.
- Monk was co-founded by CEO George Kurdin (previously at D.E. Shaw, Minecraft, and Streamlabs) and engineer Joe Zhou (previously at Google and Snap). The company is headquartered in New York.
