Zenzap raises $44M for AI workplace chat aimed at frontline staff
Zenzap, an Israeli startup building a private workplace messenger with AI agents, has raised $44 million from investors including Bessemer, Lightspeed and The Garage, plus individuals such as Wix president Nir Zohar and former EY Israel managing partner Yoram Tietz. Chinese outlet Zhidx, citing CTech, reports the figure is cumulative: an $11 million seed round in 2022 plus a $33 million Series A in August 2025 co-led by Bessemer and Lightspeed, not a single round. The mobile-first app targets frontline workers in hospitality, construction, healthcare and fast food, offering group chats, tasks, calendar integration and AI voice and search on a free tier, with paid plans from $51 per month for up to 20 users and credit-based pricing for AI agents and call transcription. Zenzap lists FedEx, Dollar General, Taco Bell, Starbucks, Casey's and Regal as clients but has not disclosed revenue, paying-customer counts or conversion rates.
The funding shows investors backing an enterprise AI messaging play aimed at frontline workers who coordinate on personal chat apps, rather than at developer-centric platforms like Slack.
Many businesses around the world use consumer-facing chat apps like WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, or iMessage to talk and coordinate with staff, and exchange documents or data.
Guy Weiss is building Zenzap, a private messenger with AI that wants to help companies communicate with their staff and arm them with their organization’s context while staying in line with IT and security rules.
The company has raised $44 million in funding from investors including Bessemer, Lightspeed, and The Garage, as well as individual investors Wix president Nir Zohar and former GM of EY, Yoram Tietz.
The fundraise is interesting because Weiss is raising money for the first time in his career. In 2012, he bootstrapped e-commerce marketing platform StuccoMedia, and sold it to Market Group in 2015. After that, he became an investor for a few years. In 2022, he founded Zenzap after meeting Bessemer partner Adam Fisher and noodling on different ideas along with his current co-founders Noam Neumann and Jonatan Bien.
