The Logan Bartlett Show

EP 126: Eran Zinman (Co-Founder, monday.com) on The Efficiency Hacks That Drove monday.com to $14B

Episode Notes

Eran Zinman entered a crowded category, out-executed everyone, and scaled monday.com into a $14B public company. In my latest conversation with him, he details their unique metric tracking system (dubbed Big Brain) that allows them to do the same amount of work with ½ the people, along with their relentless focus on cash over other metrics, and the little tactics that brought significant ROI (like sending everyone—including investors—a daily SMS with yesterday’s metrics).
