Zenzap has raised $44 million in funding for its workplace messaging application designed to replace consumer chat apps used by businesses. Founder and CEO Guy Weiss launched the company in 2022. Investors in the funding round include Bessemer, Lightspeed, The Garage, Wix President Nir Zohar, and former EY general manager Yoram Tietz.
Zenzap provides standard messaging features alongside artificial intelligence tools for voice chat, search, and workflow automation. Paid plans start at $51 monthly for up to 20 users, unlocking advanced task sorting, file storage, and transcriptions. The platform targets mobile-first industries like healthcare, construction, hospitality, and fast food, where workers often rely on personal apps like WhatsApp or iMessage.
According to Weiss, traditional chat apps lack required IT compliance, while enterprise tools like Slack were not built for this specific mobile workforce. Zenzap currently employs 50 staff members across the United States, Tel Aviv, and Europe. The startup plans to use its new capital to hire additional personnel for its product and research and development departments.
