Roy Mann owns 15.3% of Monday shares worth about $ 800 million after the IPO. Laman also has a founding share, which gives him a veto on board votes on a wide range of issues: from mergers and acquisitions, capital and debt raising and strategy changes.

The two bought shares at $ 75 million each at a price of $ 132 per share which was the mid-range of $ 125-140 planned in the IPO. But unsurprisingly, the very announcement of the entry of Salesforce and Zoom to Monday gave the IPO a boost and contributed to an increase in demand and its closing price of $ 155.
