FY2023 and FY2024 20-F filings describe Israel as the company’s primary R&D hub and workforce center using standard commercial language 56. Geopolitical risk language in filings references the ongoing Israel-Hamas war as an operational risk factor, including employee conscription, office disruption, and potential business continuity issues 56. No language in SEC filings frames Israeli operations in terms of state partnerships, security-sector integration, or geopolitical mission 56. No ESG or sustainability disclosure section containing human rights due diligence language specifically addressing the company’s nexus to the conflict was identified in FY2024 filings 6.

Operations in Occupied or Contested Territories

However, Monday.com markets a CRM solution specifically for the “Military Industry,” with “mission project tracking” and “contract & supplier management” use cases 12.

Monday.com received support from the Israel Innovation Authority (formerly the Office of the Chief Scientist) in its early stages, consistent with standard Israeli government R&D grant programs available to Israeli technology startups 5. The IIA relationship post-IPO represents a legacy royalty-obligation structure relating to R&D grants received in early-stage years rather than active new grant receipt 56.

No evidence of cloud infrastructure, logistics support, or technology services directly to IDF military operations, Israeli intelligence agencies, or the Israeli Ministry of Defense was identified 58.

Corporate Structure & Primary Mission

Monday.com Ltd. is incorporated in Israel and listed on NASDAQ (ticker: MNDY) since June 2021 5. The company operates a dual-class share structure: Class A shares (one vote each, publicly traded) and Class B shares (ten votes each, held by founders and early insiders) 56. This structure concentrates voting control with co-founders Roy Mann and Eran Zinman but follows a standard Silicon Valley-style governance mechanism rather than a state-linked golden-share arrangement 56. No state-held shares, government golden shares, or Israeli government equity interest were identified in SEC filings 56.

The company’s stated corporate mission is exclusively commercial: to provide a Work OS platform enabling organizations to manage projects and workflows 56.
