LumApps, a global leader in AI-driven intranet solutions, has announced an agreement to merge with Beekeeper, the mobile-first platform for frontline teams, in a deal supported by private equity firm Bridgepoint. The transaction values the combined company at over $1 billion and will create the industry’s first AI-powered Employee Hub designed to integrate everything desk-based and frontline workers need in one place.
LumApps specializes in next-generation intranet platforms for desk-based employees, while Beekeeper focuses on mobile solutions for frontline staff in industries like retail, hospitality, and manufacturing. Together, they aim to bridge the gap between these two segments, delivering a single comprehensive platform that boosts engagement, productivity, and communication across entire workforces.
The combined company will serve over 7 million users at more than 2,000 client organizations, generating around $150 million in recurring revenue. Backed by a global team of over 600 employees across North America, Europe, and Asia—including a growing presence in Japan—the merged entity is poised for rapid expansion in the $10 billion employee experience market, which is growing at an estimated 15% annually. Their goal is to reach 100 million users by 2030.
“Beekeeper has built a game-changing platform for frontline employees worldwide, driving engagement and productivity,” said Sébastien Ricard, CEO and Co-Founder of LumApps. “Together, LumApps and Beekeeper will support all employees, everywhere, in this new age of work. I’m thrilled to welcome the Beekeeper team to the LumApps family.”

“LumApps redefined employee engagement through innovation and AI,” added Cris Grossmann, CEO and Co-Founder of Beekeeper. “Both companies share a vision and a passion for empowering employees. This partnership represents a bold move that will transform our industry, putting the success of desk and frontline employees at the center of everything we do.”
LumApps’ Chief Product & Technology Officer and Co-Founder, Elie Mélois, emphasized that the merger will push the boundaries of what an intranet platform can deliver. “Our innovation and integration efforts will create a uniquely powerful platform for organisations and their people,” he said.
The merger builds on LumApps’ growth momentum following four strategic acquisitions since 2021. Supported by Bridgepoint since 2024, the company plans to continue consolidating the market, driven by trends like AI adoption, hybrid work, and the rise of digital-first communication.
“We are incredibly proud to back visionary founders like Sébastien, Elie, and Cris,” said David Nicault, Partner & Head of Technology, and Nadia Cid, Director at Bridgepoint. “LumApps and Beekeeper bring together two highly complementary platforms, redefining what’s possible in employee experience technology.”
