Event Summary

Monday.com, an Israeli workplace software company, announced it will lay off approximately 620 employees (20% of its global workforce) as part of a restructuring to focus on AI. The company is shifting from a work management platform to an AI-powered workspace where employees and AI agents collaborate. Co-founders Roy Mann and Eran Zinman described the layoffs as the 'most painful decision' since founding. The company expects $45-55 million in restructuring charges and raised its 2026 non-GAAP operating margin outlook to 15%. Around 350 affected employees are in Israel — Tel Aviv. The layoffs are not intended as cost-cutting or AI replacement, but to reallocate resources toward AI development. Monday.com also recently launched Monday Ventures, a $200 million investment arm for AI startups.
