U.S.-based Wellbees, headquartered in Delaware, has raised $3.6 million in a Series A funding round led by Qatar Development Bank.
The company specializes in AI-powered employee wellbeing solutions and plans to use the new funding to support its expansion across the GCC while strengthening its operational presence in regional markets.
Investors Join Wellbees’ Series A Round
The round included participation from several investors, including 212, A-typical Ventures, Arya VC, SABAH.fund, and Sharks & Partners, alongside angel investors.
Sabancı Ventures also continued to support the company as an existing investor, reflecting sustained investor confidence in Wellbees’ business model and regional growth potential.
The funding comes as Wellbees continues to expand its operations, including opening a new office in Qatar and strengthening its software development, product, and artificial intelligence teams.
An AI-Powered Employee Wellbeing Platform
Wellbees offers an enterprise employee wellbeing platform that operates in more than 100 countries and supports over 38 languages.
The platform uses artificial intelligence to personalize employee wellbeing experiences, measure engagement levels, and track mental and physical wellbeing indicators across organizations.
Its services include specialized support programs, habit tracking, fitness exercises, meditation, yoga, sleep and mood tracking, group challenges, motivational activities, and corporate analytics.
Expanding from Qatar Across the GCC
Wellbees said its expansion into Qatar, alongside its existing presence in the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Turkey, reflects its ambition to strengthen its position as a key provider of employee wellbeing solutions for large enterprises.
The expansion comes as global companies place greater focus on reshaping the workplace, improving employee experience, and increasing productivity through more personalized and measurable wellbeing solutions.
AI Reshapes Workplace Wellbeing
Wellbees’ executive team noted that rising workplace stress levels and declining employee engagement worldwide are increasing the need for more personalized and measurable wellbeing solutions.
The new investment is expected to help the company further develop its AI capabilities and expand its solutions across GCC markets, in line with the region’s broader development and economic transformation plans.
