Marking monday.com’s first-ever startup investment, the funding will support Blocks’s mission to enable any professional to build custom work tools with built-in intelligent AI agents simply by describing what they need
Blocks, the AI-powered no-code platform, 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 enable anyone, regardless of technical background, to create custom work tools and AI agents simply by detailing their needs using plain, everyday language.
Everyone’s experienced the feeling of coming up with an idea for the perfect tool they would design to make their work more efficient. But when it comes to actually doing something about it, most face a choice between rigid prebuilt solutions that rarely fit their workflows and require major adjustments or building costly software from scratch. Blocks breaks these barriers by enabling professionals to describe the tool they need using plain language and build custom applications, intelligent agents, or integrated systems with AI. Whether a standalone AI agent to enrich leads or a custom inventory management system, Blocks helps teams from any industry get the tools they need for their unique workflow in a matter of minutes.
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 the custom apps and smart agents built in Blocks work with your existing systems. This represents a shift in work tools: from passive systems that require constant human input to intelligent tools that actively perform work.
For those looking to quickly build an app, Blocks offers a marketplace of community-shared templates that users from a non-technical background can customize instantly. The platform is already trusted by a diverse range of professionals, including alternative health practitioners, avocado farmers, and operations managers from major corporations.
Built specifically for teams, Blocks includes prebuilt workspaces that enable seamless collaboration on shared data between team members and external users like 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 my seven years leading product growth at monday.com, I saw how no-code platforms improved efficiency in the workplace,” says Michal Lupu, Co-Founder and CEO of Blocks. “With AI, the barrier to building software has decreased dramatically, and Blocks takes this a step further—giving professionals a simple way to create intelligent work tools and AI agents tailored to their exact needs. We’ve built a workspace where teams can collaborate, automate, and connect their systems seamlessly—so anyone, from a founder to a farmer, can save time and focus on the work that really matters.”
“Having worked closely with Michal and Tal during their years as senior leaders at monday.com, we’ve seen firsthand their deep understanding of workplace productivity challenges and their ability to build solutions that serve users,” says Roy Mann, Co-Founder and the CEO of monday.com. “As monday.com’s first-ever investment, we’re backing founders we know and trust, leaders who know how to tackle one of the biggest opportunities in the future of work, and we couldn’t be more excited to support their journey.”
“The Blocks team has identified a significant opportunity in workplace productivity,” says Erez Shachar, Managing Partner at Qumra Capital. “By combining intuitive app building with intelligent AI agents, they’re enabling non-technical users to create solutions that were previously impossible without significant technical resources, and we’re thrilled to support their mission of advancing workflow tools.”
