ZestMeUp: a startup that listens to its employees

Christophe Bergeon and Maxime Blein founded ZestMeUp in 2015 with the aim of improving employee engagement and well-being within companies. As traditional human resources management tools were not fully satisfying employees' needs, the founders created a modern, intuitive platform to improve communication between employees and their managers. Based in Paris, ZestMeUp quickly attracted the attention of many companies, both large and small, because of its promise to improve performance and team involvement.

ZestMeUp: innovative HR solutions to improve engagement

ZestMeUp's HR software suite is designed to simplify communication and collaboration between team members. Our platform offers a variety of tools for exchanging feedback in real time, surveys to assess user engagement, modules for personal recognition and development, and advanced features for managing goals. With this solution, companies can track employee engagement, identify areas for improvement and implement tangible actions to boost satisfaction and increase productivity. ZestMeUp fosters talent retention and encourages the creation of a more positive and inclusive corporate culture by focusing on the employee experience.

ZestMeUp: European expansion in sight

ZestMeUp has enjoyed steady growth since its inception. Before expanding to other European countries, the startup succeeded in consolidating its position on the French market, where it currently has over 200 customers. With a view to European expansion in 2022, ZestMeUp has increased its staffing levels in the sales and technical departments. Offices are also planned in the UK, Germany and Spain. The aim is to achieve European leadership in HR software by tapping into growing demand for digital solutions that focus on the well-being and individual needs of employees. With its innovative approach, ZestMeUp has already captured the interest of many players in the field, establishing the startup as a key player on the European HR scene.

ZestMeUp: financial performance for 2023.

This round of financing will enable the company to accelerate its expansion in Europe, optimize its technological platform and consolidate its teams. In addition, the new capital will be allocated to improving research and development in order to integrate additional functionalities into its HR software suite. As far as financial results are concerned, ZestMeUp is experiencing significant sales growth, although precise details of its stock market valuation have not been made public.
