Israeli startup Blocks, which builds an AI platform for creating smart tools and AI agents, has raised $10 million in a Seed funding round. The round was led by an Israeli software company Monday, marking its first-ever investment in another startup. Qumra Capital and Entrée Capital also took part in the round.
Blocks was founded in early 2025 by Michal Lupu and Tal Haramati. Michal earlier worked as VP of Product Growth and Strategy at Monday, while Tal was VP of Technology and part of Monday’s founding team.
Today, the company has a team of 10 employees working at its development center in Israel.
The founders explained that the rise of no-code platforms inspired them. “We realized that with the help of AI, we could create a new generation of applications that not only help you but can actually do a large part of the work for you,” they said.
Although the founders recently moved on from Monday after many years in senior roles, they stress that Blocks is built to work with any platform—not only Monday. “We work with them and in collaboration with them, and we really appreciate each other. We worked for years at Monday until the IPO and both knew we wanted to do something together. AI is the change we were waiting for to do something really big,” they added.
Blocks is built for employees and teams in organizations of all sizes—from managers at big companies to small business owners. It lets them create tools to manage any work process.
What sets Blocks apart is that it combines app building, AI agents, and advanced logic in one platform. This makes it easy for anyone to build smart applications to manage their work.
Blocks’ AI agents work like digital coworkers, handling everyday tasks such as pulling data from files, analyzing documents, scheduling meetings, sending emails, and doing research.
These apps and agents connect smoothly with tools people already use—like Hubspot, LinkedIn, Gmail, monday.com, Snowflake, and Notion. This makes it easy for organizations to start using them and marks a shift from passive tools that need constant input to intelligent tools that can actively get work done.
Blocks also has a Marketplace with ready-made templates created by community experts. These can be used right away or customized to fit different needs. The platform is already being used in many industries, such as alternative medicine, construction, and tech operations.
“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.”
