Modern workers are digital and mobile natives who expect their payroll experience to be more like Amazon than AOL. There’s a new generation of workers that are primarily motivated by flexibility. In response, employers have changed how they hire and structure work arrangements and have turned to staffing companies, gig platforms, labor marketplaces, and HR service providers to help them find and retain important talent. Zeal is a modern payroll platform purpose-built to meet the needs of today’s dynamic labor market. By providing flexible, automated, and native payroll solutions, Zeal enables businesses to reduce operational costs, improve worker retention, and offer superior worker experiences.
I'm excited to announce Zeal’s Series B led by Portage with participation from Spark Capital, Commerce Ventures, Cohen Circle, and Long Journey ?? 56% percent of Americans (77M employees) are hourly workers– they work multiple jobs to make ends meet and will pick up shifts wherever they can. 65% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck – they want their employers to offer programs to have access to wages faster. Zeal partners directly with America’s largest employers– gig platforms, staffing agencies, EORs, PEOs, and more – to help them build the most modern solutions to onboard, pay, manage compliance, and retain workers at scale. We started with payroll–one of the trickiest payment and compliance products in the ecosystem. With this fundraise, we have now expanded to 6 new offerings to help employers stay competitive and serve the “modern worker” who demands flexibility. Introducing the new Zeal platform: 1. Modern Payroll & HR 2. Remote I-9 & E Verify 3. Custom Paperwork & Surveys 4. Benefits Administration 5. White-labeled Mobile Apps 6. Paycards & Digital Wallets 7. Earned Wage Access We’re super excited to continue powering the future of workforce management and payments with our new round of funding. Grateful to our customers, investors, and team for all that they do to support this mission! ?

Congratulations to the Zeal team on their exciting progress! I met Kirti and Pranab in 2019 ("the before times") while I was at Plaid, and they were coming out of YC. Since then, workers have changed, work has changed, but payroll has not. Zeal is here to change that with modern payroll.
I'm proud to announce Zeal’s Series B led by Portage , with participation from Spark Capital, Commerce Ventures, Cohen Circle, and Long Journey. Today, more than ever, Americans prioritize flexibility in the way they work—taking up hourly jobs, working across geographies, and fulfilling temporary positions. There are millions of this type of “modern worker” that serve the backbone of our economy. The modern worker is the barista who was hired through a gig app on the App Store, the mechanic that completes their mobile onboarding on the factory floor before their first shift, and the temporary nurse who wants to cash out their earnings once the work is done, instead of waiting until next week’s payroll. Those that serve this new generation of modern workers, such as staffing companies, gig platforms, labor marketplaces, and HR service providers, require modern solutions to be able to hire, pay, and retain them. Zeal is the modern solution. Along with this fundraise, we are excited to announce the expansion of the Zeal platform with new products: 1. Remote I9 & E-Verify 2. Custom Paperwork & Surveys 3. Benefits Administration 4. White-labeled Mobile Apps 5. Paycards & Digital Wallets 6. Earned Wage Access Thank you to our customers, whom we have the honor of serving, our new and existing investors for their support, and, of course, to our amazing team who makes Zeal what it is.

Congrats to Zeal team on their Series B from Portage! The nature of work is changing rapidly — labor shortages, a rise in flexible work, and growth of gig economies — and traditional payroll systems can’t keep up. What sets Zeal apart? They understand that payroll isn't just about wiring money. It's about providing flexibility, improving worker retention, and dramatically reducing operational costs. From I-9 verification to paycards & digital wallets to custom-branded, no-code mobile apps to benefits management, the Zeal team is shipping fast and giving clients a massive advantage at a time when every competitive edge matters. Excited to double down on their Series B and continue to work with Kirti Shenoy, Pranab Krishnan, and the Zeal team building modern payroll! https://lnkd.in/g_e6V2bq
After 5 years of building Zeal, we are excited to announce our $15M Series B fundraising to continue building the next generation of payroll. ?? We see that worker preferences are changing. Outside of money related motivations, the ability to have more flexible work is the most important motivator to find a new job for workers. As a new generation of workers decides what’s important to them, employers are changing how they structure work arrangements. We call this new, digital-native, generation modern workers. And we call the new way they want to work modern work. A combination of shrinking workforce and a post-pandemic increase in hiring has created a challenging hiring environment. As the US Chamber of Commerce states “We have a lot of jobs but not enough workers to fill them. If every unemployed person in the country found a job, we would still have millions of open jobs.“ Many businesses are turning to staffing companies, gig platforms, labor marketplaces, and human resource service providers to help them find workers. And the work arrangements offered by these companies are more appealing than direct hiring for modern workers because they are fundamentally more flexible. While modern work and workers are a growing trend, the staffing companies, gig platforms, labor marketplaces, and human resource service providers who embrace this change are still largely using antiquated tools from the previous era of work. Payroll that's more flexible, automated, and native is required to deliver on the high expectations of modern workers and the dynamic nature of modern work. We call this modern payroll. We’re excited to continue building Zeal to meet the needs of modern workers and modern work with a modern payroll platform that lowers operational costs and improves worker retention. https://hubs.ly/Q02SWFRC0
