Abloomify announces $500K pre-seed funding round

TORONTO, CANADA – December 12, 2024 – Abloomify, an AI-powered workforce management platform for tech companies, today announced it has closed a $500,000 pre-seed funding round. The round was led by Thorburn Capital, with participation from Side Door Ventures (SDV), and Brinex Capital several undisclosed industry expert angel investors.

Founded by former Verafin product leaders Amir Tavafi and Reza Vatani, Abloomify is on a mission to transform how tech companies lead, scale, and make data-driven decisions. The platform combines privacy-first productivity analytics with an AI assistant called "Bloomy" to help organizations optimize performance while maintaining employee trust.

Addressing the Leadership Gap in Tech

"Traditional performance management tools are either too loose to provide real insights or too invasive, destroying company culture," said Amir Tavafi, Co-Founder and CEO of Abloomify. "We're building the command center for modern tech leaders who refuse to choose between efficiency and employee trust."

The platform addresses critical challenges facing growing tech companies:

  • Fragmented visibility across hybrid and remote teams
  • Rising software costs and redundant licenses
  • Manual, time-consuming performance reviews
  • Lack of AI governance and security

Proven Founders with Deep AI Expertise

Co-founders Tavafi and Vatani bring over 30 years of combined experience in AI and enterprise software. The duo previously worked together at Verafin, the financial crime management platform acquired by Nasdaq for $2.75 billion in 2021. Their background includes multiple international AI and robotics championships and pioneering work in applying AI to complex business problems.

"Amir and Reza have the rare combination of deep technical expertise and enterprise go-to-market experience," said a representative from Side Door Ventures. "Their vision for AI-native leadership tools aligns perfectly with where the market is heading."

Early Traction and Customer Validation

Despite being in stealth mode, Abloomify has already secured pilot customers across Canada and the United States. Early adopters report significant improvements in operational efficiency and employee satisfaction.

"Abloomify gave us visibility we never had before while respecting our team's privacy," said a pilot customer who requested anonymity. "We reduced our SaaS spend by 12% and cut manager admin time by 10 hours per week."

Strategic Use of Funds

The pre-seed funding will be used to:

  • Expand the engineering team to accelerate product development
  • Enhance the AI capabilities of "Bloomy," the platform's intelligent assistant
  • Build out the go-to-market team
  • Complete SOC 2 Type II certification

Growing Market Opportunity

The global workforce analytics market is projected to reach $15.8 billion by 2030, driven by the rise of hybrid work and the need for data-driven decision making. Abloomify is uniquely positioned to capture this opportunity with its privacy-first approach and AI-native architecture.

"The future of work requires tools that balance productivity with humanity," added Reza Vatani, Co-Founder and Chief AI Officer. "We're not building surveillance software – we're building intelligence that empowers everyone from individual contributors to C-suite executives."
