Monk, a platform automating accounts receivable workflows, secured $25 million in Series A funding co-led by Footwork and Acrew Capital. The round brings the company's total funding to $29 million.

Monk's Series A reflects growing investor interest in automation tools targeting back-office finance operations. The platform streamlines accounts receivable processes, reducing manual work and accelerating cash collection for businesses. Footwork and Acrew Capital jointly led the round, with CEO George Kurdin confirming the funding. The company's path to $29 million in total capital suggests prior seed or pre-Series A rounds. Accounts receivable automation remains an active area for venture funding as companies seek efficiency gains in finance operations. Monk competes in a broader category of tools addressing invoice processing, payment tracking, and collections workflows. The funding will likely support product development and sales expansion as Monk scales its customer base across mid-market and enterprise segments.
