LumApps and Beekeeper Merge to Revolutionize Employee Experience Platforms

LumApps and Beekeeper: A Merger for the Future of Work



In a significant move to reshape the landscape of employee experience, LumApps, a leading next-generation intranet company, has officially announced its merger with Beekeeper, a mobile-first platform designed for frontline workers. This strategic integration marks a pivotal moment, establishing a combined enterprise value exceeding $1 billion and creating the first-ever AI employee hub that caters to all employees, from office workers to frontline staff.

The newly formed platform will be supported by a global team of over 600 professionals spanning North America, Europe, and Asia, serving more than 2,000 companies and 7 million users worldwide. With annual recurring revenues of approximately $150 million, this merger is expected to drive rapid growth in the coming years.

The integration aims to deliver a comprehensive digital solution that supports both office-based workers and frontline employees. By leveraging AI to enhance operational efficiency and enabling seamless integration of flexible business applications, the companies aspire to capture 100 million users by 2030 within a market projected to reach $10 billion in size with a 15% annual growth rate.

Since launching operations in Japan in 2017, LumApps has continuously supported numerous Japanese companies, enhancing corporate communications and employee engagement while facilitating efficient information dissemination. The company is committed to expanding its presence in the Japanese market, further contributing to the enhancement of employee experiences.

Visionary Insights from Leadership



Sébastien Ricard, CEO and co-founder of LumApps, remarked, “Beekeeper is a groundbreaking platform that significantly enhances engagement and productivity among frontline workers. This merger allows us to support the ideal working style for all employees, and we are thrilled to welcome the Beekeeper team into the LumApps family.”

Cristian Grossmann, CEO and co-founder of Beekeeper, stated, “LumApps has redefined employee engagement through AI and innovation. Our shared vision of maximizing employee potential makes this merger a revolutionary step for the industry.”

Elie Mélois, CPTO and co-founder of LumApps, emphasized that the merger will lead to the creation of an innovative platform that empowers employees to reach their full potential. The collaboration seeks to transcend the traditional boundaries of intranet value and offer unprecedented support to organizations.

A Strategic Growth Model



Since 2021, LumApps has accelerated its growth through strategic acquisitions of four companies: Novastream, Heyaxel, Vizir, and Teach on Mars. The company plans to actively pursue market consolidation under the ongoing trends of AI utilization, hybrid work, and digital-first communication.

Connecting the strategic vision with investor support, David Nicault and Nadia Cid from Bridgepoint praised the merger: “The integration of LumApps and Beekeeper is a crucial step in unlocking new possibilities for employee experiences. Their combined innovation and scalability provide an optimal foundation for connecting employees across all industries and enhancing their potential.”

Completion of the transaction is anticipated by July 2025, contingent on standard closing conditions. LumApps is set to maintain a majority stake, supported by a fund managed by Bridgepoint.
