Zenzap, an enterprise messaging platform with AI-powered features, closed a $44 million Series A led by Bessemer Venture Partners and Lightspeed. The round marks founder Guy Weiss's first institutional capital raise.
The Garage, Wix president Nir Zohar and former EY general manager Yoram Tietz also participated. Weiss bootstrapped and sold e-commerce marketing platform StuccoMedia to Market Group in 2015, then founded Zenzap in 2022.
The company positions itself in a gap between consumer messaging apps and enterprise platforms. WhatsApp and iMessage lack IT and security compliance for workplace use, Weiss said. Slack and Microsoft Teams, meanwhile, were built for desk workers—not the mobile-first, shift-based patterns of hospitality, construction, healthcare and quick-service restaurant staff.
Zenzap offers a free tier with group chats, direct messages, task management, calendar integration and AI voice chat. Paid plans start at $51 per month for up to 20 users and add voice and video calls, smart task sorting, AI search across the workspace and message-to-task conversion. Advanced AI agents for workflow automation and transcription run on a credit-based model.
Clients include FedEx, Dollar General, Taco Bell, Starbucks, Casey's and Regal Cinemas.
Bessemer partner Adam Fisher was instrumental in the funding. Weiss said he was initially reluctant to raise capital: "The only thing I had to lose was my name, and I was super afraid to do a second round as a founder and become a failure, because my first round was very successful." Fisher argued that venture scale was necessary to compete with entrenched platforms.
