Our story
From a Brisbane spare room
to a Californian firm's
first Australian cheque.
- 2023Founded in Brisbane
Denver and Sam Naidoo start Zeligate to build AI co-workers, beginning with the most human function in the enterprise: hiring.
- 2024Zeli learns to interview
Voice, video, SMS and chat interviewing ships. The first enterprise pilots begin in healthcare and aviation.
- 2025Gold 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.
- 2026The 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.
- 2030Where 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.

“DNX's decision to make us its first Australian investment is a testament to the hard work of our team and the massive potential of our AI workforce, which we call Zelis.”
