Are we really facing the end of SaaS? Is it actually possible to rebuild monday.com in just two hours? And will we all be out of a job in a few years? In this episode of "Version Update"—the series where we unpack how AI is reshaping and rebuilding monday.com from the inside out—we dive into the most talked-about doom prophecies of recent months to separate fact from fiction and see what has been blown completely out of proportion.

monday.com founders Roy Mann and Eran Zinman bring their boots-on-the-ground perspective to these industry anxieties. They address the rise of "vibe coding" and its true impact on established software companies, the fear that users will bypass traditional applications entirely in favor of raw LLM interfaces, and the impending takeover of AI agents in the workplace.

The discussion cuts through the panic to find the actual core of truth behind the headlines. By examining these shifts realistically, Roy and Eran map out what these macro-changes mean for the future of software development, how existing platforms must adapt, and what the practical implications are for the tech ecosystem as a whole.

What happens when successful companies face a game-changing technology that rewrites the rules? This is the third episode in our series on how AI is reshaping and rebuilding monday from the inside out. In this episode, monday co-CEOs Roy Mann and Eran Zinman join Darya Wertheim to talk about the practical challenges of managing organizational change when the technological landscape shifts.

Drawing on frameworks from the book "The Innovator's Dilemma," Eran and Roy break down why the strongest, best-managed companies are actually at the highest risk of being disrupted during the AI revolution. They dive into the friction of balancing the urgent demands of existing customers and current product commitments with the strategic necessity of betting on an unmapped future.

The discussion unpacks why it is so difficult for software companies to let go of legacy paradigms, why market dynamics always win in the end, what makes AI fundamentally different from any technological wave we have seen before and, of course, exactly where all of this meets monday.

In the second episode of our series on how AI is reshaping monday.com, Darya Wertheim hosts Roy Mann and Eran Zinman, the company’s co-founders and co-CEOs. They discuss the most dramatic turning point in software since the invention of the personal computer. While software over the last 20 years primarily served as a tool to document work done elsewhere, today AI allows software to take center stage and execute the work itself—moving "from managing the work to doing the work."

In this episode, we break down what it actually means to deeply embed AI into a company based on three key pillars: replacing human tasks, empowering employees with 10x capabilities, and democratizing tasks and expertise that were previously out of reach—enabling anyone to code, design, or create music without prior knowledge.

We also discuss what AI is not, and why sprinkling "AI dust" on top of a product without changing its core value is simply not enough. Roy and Eran explain how customer expectations have fundamentally shifted, to the point where anything less than eliminating cognitive load and execution steps is no longer enough.

The impact of AI is unfolding in real-time, and no one has all the answers yet. At monday.com, the transition didn't happen overnight; It began with early excitement, moved through a period of learning and adjustment, and led to the realization that our previous frameworks required a fundamental shift.

This episode marks the beginning of a series where we share the internal changes happening at monday.com right now, documenting the process while it is still "in the making" to provide a transparent look at a company in transition.

Darya Wertheim sits down with Eran Zinman, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of monday.com, to discuss how he realized the company needed a fundamental shift in perspective. Eran shares the difficult reality of abandoning a successful strategy to climb a much steeper mountain. They dive into the specific dilemmas of leading a global organization through a period where the endgame isn't yet visible.

Rather than a retrospective on success, this discussion focuses on managing through the unknown. We cover the initial impact of AI on the organization, and the leadership required to keep 3,000 employees engaged when their core environment is being reshaped.

The current geopolitical situation in Israel brings quite a few challenges for startups wishing to raise money. These challenges become even more significant when they involve foreign VCs who may need help understanding the situation, making the way startups communicate with them even more critical. 

In mid-November, we held an event where Daria Wertheim interviewed Shuli Galili from the UpWest Fund, Jacques Benkoski from U.S. Venture Partners, and Aaron Jacobson from NEA about the way investors in the U.S. perceive the current situation, how they would like founders to communicate with them, And how they see raising money for Israeli startups today.

Why is it important for CS & AM to work together? What can this cooperation allow us as a company? 

Customer retention is one of the most, if not the most, important abilities for a company. It becomes even more important in a time when markets are changing, and companies are re-evaluating their expenses and making sure every service they use is at the core of their business - not a nice to have, but a must-have.

There for, it’s crucial for the CS and AMs (account managers) to be on top of their metrics, and make sure they can identify any potential risk or churn in advance.

In this episode, Adva Shisgal speaks with George Graham, Enterprise Account Manager, and Lauren Knowles, Customer Success Manager at monday.com, about the way their two functions work together.

George and Lauren discuss the changes their departments made in order to make sure they work closer together, what led to these changes, and how have they impacted the entire company.

Let's talk about SaaS metrics in 2023.

The last few years have turned the tables for many startups, and have also changed the way the market, and investors in particular, have evaluated startups. As part of this, many of the metrics we have worked with until then - such as ARR or CAC, have become much less relevant. The market wanted to focus on profitability and efficiency and had to find new metrics to support this.

In this week's episode, Darya Wertheim spoke with Jason Lemkin, SaaStr founder & CEO, and with Eran Zinman and Roy Mann, the Co-Founders and Co-CEO of monday.com about SaaS metrics in 2023. They've discussed what has changed in the SaaS business model in recent years, how to look at ARR, CAC, and NDR today, and why it is not certain that these metrics serve us as well as they did in the past, and on many more topics that arise when we put three SaaS geeks in the same room (or in the same virtual conversation).

The episode dives deep into the business model of SaaS companies, so it is aimed at those who are familiar with and discuss concepts such as ARR, CAC and NDR.
