Company will end fundraising campaign on December 19th to focus on accelerating U.S. expansion and MaYa sales growth heading into 2026.
MyShop Technologies, the AI-powered restaurant ordering platform, announced it will close its Series A crowdfunding campaign on Republic.com on December 19, 2025, ahead of the original planned timeline. The decision follows exceptionally strong early traction for MaYa, the company’s AI voice ordering system, which has exceeded revenue projections by 300% in initial U.S. deployments.
MaYa, which answers restaurant phone calls and processes orders in six languages simultaneously, entered pre-sale across multiple U.S. states in recent weeks. The first commercial contracts have been signed, with early customer data revealing revenue potential far above initial estimates.

We’re seeing restaurant owners respond immediately to what MaYa solves: missed calls during rush hours, language barriers with customers, and the labor costs of manual order-taking.”

U.S. Market Performance Exceeds Projections
Based on signed contracts, the average annual revenue per U.S. MaYa customer is running 13-15 times higher than comparable customers in Israel, where MyShop already serves over 1,000 restaurant locations. This performance is approximately three times higher than the company’s internal financial models projected.
“We’re seeing restaurant owners respond immediately to what MaYa solves: missed calls during rush hours, language barriers with customers, and the labor costs of manual order-taking,” said Itsik Zizov, Co-Founder and CEO of MyShop Technologies. “The revenue numbers from our first U.S. contracts showed us we need to move faster. Closing this round early allows us to deploy capital directly into sales execution rather than fundraising activities.”
The company is currently reviewing its 2026 financial forecasts and expects to release updated Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) projections following internal analysis.
Strategic Focus on Growth
“We’re closing this round early because the market is telling us MaYa is ready for scale-up,” said Roey Gesser, Co-Founder and Co-CEO. “Our team needs to concentrate on customer acquisition, implementation, and proving the unit economics in the U.S. market. Every week spent fundraising is a week we’re not signing new restaurant partners.”
