Beekeeper closes $10 million Series B extension

Beekeeper, a communication and operations platform designed for frontline workers, has announced a $10 million extension on its Series B round.

It brings the round’s total to $60 million and was led by Energize Ventures, with investment from HighSage Ventures, SwissCanto, Thayer, Swisscom, Investiere, Alpana Ventures, and Swiss Post. Beekeeper has now pulled in $86 million in funds since its inception in 2011.

Juan Muldoon, Partner at Energize Ventures, comments: “Technology that supports frontline workers is more important than ever.”

“We have long believed that Beekeeper is setting the standard for how the modern frontline workforce operates and communicates, but the current crisis has given new urgency to the company’s mission. Industries with largely deskless workforces are digitising at an accelerating pace, and we believe this digital transformation is here to stay.”

Beekeeper, whose clients include Panera Bread and Mandarin Oriental, will use the additional funding to expand its cloud marketplace for apps, solutions, and integrations.

Cristian Grossmann, CEO and Co-founder, Beekeeper, comments: “We take it as a tremendous vote of confidence that we have this type of backing in the current economic environment.”

“We are using this opportunity to invest in innovation and solidify our position as the top communication and operations platform for frontline workers. This is our chance to expand our product offering to anticipate the needs of an evolving market.”
