Overview

Zestful provides companies with a platform to create customizable perks and rewards programs, anchored by the Zestful Perk Card that functions like a debit card but only permits purchases approved in the Zestful Catalog up to a company-set balance. The catalog includes services such as Netflix, Spotify, Uber, meal delivery, gym memberships, travel and more. Launched earlier in the year, Zestful has expanded its perks catalog to over 1,300 options, enabled more than 300 donations to charity, and onboarded more than 100 companies across 14 countries. The company was founded by Mat Vogels and is based in Denver, CO. Zestful says it will use the new funds to continue investing in the product and expand its offering. Zestful provides companies with a platform to create customizable perks and rewards programs that let employers control which products or categories employees can spend benefit dollars on. Its Zestful Perk Card functions like a debit card but only permits purchases approved in the Zestful Catalog and only up to the company-provided balance (for example, $100 per month). The catalog includes hundreds of services such as Spotify, Netflix, Uber, Coursera, Airbnb, gym memberships, meal delivery kits and Southwest Airlines across categories like fitness/health, food/drink, education, events and experiences. Employers can add services requested by employees, and employees can donate any leftover monthly allowance to charity. Employers can get started at $5 per employee per month with no commitment required. The company launched with $1.1M in funding and is an alumnus of Y Combinator's Winter 2017 class.
