Time savings is no longer a compelling enough AI pitch. As @GeorgeKurdin, co-founder of @usemonk, puts it: what happens when you save someone 5 hours, only for them to spend that time on Reddit? Nobody is piloting AI anymore. The conversations he's having with customers now are about hard ROI - bottom line, top line or margin. Hours returned to someone's calendar don't count unless you can say what they did with them. "It's no longer about just procuring a solution. It's also how do you get the company to actually use the solution."
NEW: How @usemonk is going after the $1.5B+ problem every business ignores, getting paid Monk already handles $1.5B+ in receivables and has raised ~$28M through its Series A. They're taking on the accounts receivable side of the ledger (think the opposite of AP) George Kurdin (Co-Founder of Monk) joins GTMnow to break down how he's building with a 16-person team: the harness as the real moat in applied AI, why he picked a market the labs won't touch for a decade, selling hard ROI over time savings, and much more. George was a professional poker player, then led Streamlabs through its sale to Logitech, before building Monk. He runs it with 16 people, almost no meetings, and everything out in the open in Slack, from investor updates to wins and losses. Highlights: 01:12 George's path: poker, operator, exited CEO, founder 01:57 What pro poker taught him: variance, discipline, and adaptation 04:46 What Monk is: AR automation, the other side of the ledger 05:37 Why an engineer now says sales and marketing is "tier zero" 07:25 The pre-seed website bet that lifted close rates ~50% 10:13 Building Monk's culture: speed, ownership, clarity 11:23 How they operationalize accountability (everything in Slack) 16:18 Why solve accounts receivable, and reverse-engineering a big TAM 18:31 Why the frontier labs won't disrupt them 19:53 Why invoices get stuck: the nine-variable problem 22:06 The "harness" as the real moat in applied AI 24:58 Why precision and security are "tier zero" in finance 25:31 Hard ROI over "time savings" as the new AI value prop 28:09 The thing nobody tells you about founding a company 29:00 Fundraising advice: compress the process to create FOMO 30:19 The best advice he got: invest in the co-founder relationship – 💚 Thank you to our incredible sponsor for supporting the podcast: Nooks: discover how revenue agents can transform your GTM. On screen: @GeorgeKurdin x @sophiebuona Full interview available here on X, on YT, Spotify or Apple.

At Net 30, he will join our closing panel to discuss how CFOs drive profitable growth and how AI is changing the finance organization. As finance teams take on more of the operating agenda, Adam brings the view of someone who has been the founder, the investor and the CFO. We look forward to his insights on the Net 30 stage.

New on Monk: Call Logs are easier to scan, so you can play any call recording right from the list and read the transcript as a back-and-forth between the Monk agent and your customer. Also in this release, remittances you can link straight from the transaction, and stuck portal uploads that show what’s blocking them, like a 2FA code or a failed login, so your team can respond accordingly. Full changelog from October 1st to October 15th in the link below.

We just shipped Custom Dashboards in Monk, so anyone on a finance team can build their own reports. Building one takes about a minute: - describe the widget you want in plain language, and Monk’s agent builds it - or add one from the catalog, like top 10 outstanding invoices or total collected month to date - pick the columns, set the date range, arrange the grid and save AR reporting is no longer one-size-fits-all. Live for every Monk customer today. @francescocoacci walks through the update in the video below.

To continue our series of AI events in NYC, I moderated a fireside on building agents w/ @jgreze, Mayor + CEO of @TownAI, + @GeorgeKurdin, CEO of @usemonk My main takeaways: - Burn tokens now, fix margins later - Horizontal agents break where mistakes cost money - Context + SOPs turn into process capital - How you eval depends on how wide you go - Get ready to fight Super fun convo given the two very diff approaches to agents: Town is building the horizontal AI assistant that learns how you work (reportedly raised at a $1B val) while Monk went deep on one workflow, accounts receivable, closed a $25M Series A this year + already manages billions in AR for cos like ElevenLabs + Profound If you want to read more about what we discussed, link below better-tomorrow-ventures.gho…
