Zenzap, a startup developing an AI-powered workplace chat application, has secured $44 million in funding from investors including Bessemer, Lightspeed, and The Garage, as well as individual investors Nir Zohar and Yoram Tietz. The company aims to provide businesses with a secure and integrated communication platform that can replace consumer-facing apps like WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, and iMessage, which are often used by companies for internal coordination.
Founded in 2022 by Guy Weiss, Noam Neumann, and Jonatan Bien, Zenzap is designed to cater to a wide range of industries, from hospitality and construction to healthcare and fast food. Weiss, who previously bootstrapped and sold the e-commerce marketing platform StuccoMedia, initially self-funded Zenzap but was convinced by Bessemer partner Adam Fisher that venture capital was necessary for scaling the business.
Zenzap's platform offers standard chat features, task management, calendar integration, and AI-powered voice chat and search. Paid plans, starting at $51 per month for up to 20 users, unlock voice and video calls, advanced task management, and higher file storage limits. The company also provides AI agents for workflow automation and AI-aided voice note transcriptions, utilizing a credit-based pricing system for these features.
Clients currently include FedEx, Dollar General, Taco Bell, Starbucks, Casey's, and Regal, with fast-food chains like IHOP and McDonald's using the platform for shift coordination and supply discussions. Bessemer's Adam Fisher highlighted Zenzap's broad appeal, noting that even the venture firm uses it for managing deal flows, suggesting its potential to serve the majority of employees who currently rely on personal messaging apps.
