AUSTIN, Jun 8, 2022 (Newswire)

Zello, a voice-first instant communication platform powered by its industry-leading push-to-talk technology, secured $20M in equity and debt funding to support rapid growth with frontline and deskless workers worldwide. The funding was led by Virgo Capital and Recurring Capital Partners.

“With over 5 million monthly active users, Zello is a clear leader in providing voice-first communications to the 2 billion connected frontline workers globally.

“In addition to serving as a mission-critical communication platform for industry leaders worldwide including Restoration Hardware, Yellow, Salling Group and Holcim, Zello also provides their robust enterprise platform for free to thousands of first responders around the world,” said Brian Henley, Managing Partner at Recurring Capital Partners.

“We are excited to partner with Virgo and Recurring Capital to further help deskless workers gain more efficiency while they get the jobs done that keep our world moving,” said Bill Moore, CEO of Zello. “We started as a social radio connecting people and causes around the world with a consumer growth DNA, but transformed into business uses for the retail, transportation, construction and hospitality industries.”

Seamless, clear communication is the key to connecting employees and enabling teams to have instant voice collaboration. Today, Zello’s communication platform supports 10 billion voice messages a month with over 1 million new app downloads a month.
