Our story

From a Brisbane spare room to a Californian firm's first Australian cheque.

  1. 2023
    Founded in Brisbane

    Denver and Sam Naidoo start Zeligate to build AI co-workers, beginning with the most human function in the enterprise: hiring.

  2. 2024
    Zeli learns to interview

    Voice, video, SMS and chat interviewing ships. The first enterprise pilots begin in healthcare and aviation.

  3. 2025
    Gold Coast, DNX, AWS

    Relocation to the Gold Coast Health and Knowledge Precinct. DNX Ventures makes its first-ever Australian investment. Zeligate lists on the AWS Marketplace.

  4. 2026
    The AI workforce company

    Enterprise deployments in aviation, public health, higher education and community services. Reception and practice-interview Zelis follow hiring. A$6.25M raised to date.

  5. 2030
    Where this goes

    A Zeli workforce alongside every human team. Every employee in the world with an AI co-worker. Ambition, stated as such.

What we believe

Four things we will not compromise.

  • Augment, don't replace

    We build co-workers for humans, and we hire humans to do the human part.

  • Show the working

    Every decision Zeli makes carries its reasoning. So do ours.

  • Candidates are customers

    Both sides of hiring lost trust at the same time. We build for both.

  • Sovereign by default

    Data stays where it belongs. In Australia, that is Sydney and Melbourne.
