When we first backed Beekeeper in 2016, “frontline enablement” was not a category, it was a blind spot. Cristian Grossman and his team saw what others missed: the largest segment of the global workforce lacked the tools to stay connected, informed and productive.
Today, Beekeeper has merged with LumApps, backed by BridgePoint, in a deal valuing the combined company at over USD 1 billion. It is a milestone, but not a surprise. This is what long-term, mission-driven execution looks like.
In a recent interview, Christian shared the thinking behind the deal: a shared ambition to serve all employees, frontline and office, with a unified, AI-powered platform. The merger brings scale, reach and resources to accelerate that vision.
Beekeeper was not just a great product, it was a company built with clarity, discipline and intent. It has been a privilege to support Beekeeper’s journey and to see the team reach this milestone while staying true to the mission that defined them from the start.
