UK-based Blink announced a $20 million Series A round of venture capital for its front-line worker productivity app. They also announced a $100 million valuation on the round. This brings its total raised to $30.7 million. The deal was led by Next47.
Blink looks to merge deskless worker communication and employee experience found in apps like Beekeeper with a remote-first digital employee experience app, integrating enterprise and productivity apps into the front-line workspace. Work tech with a focus on the deskless or front-line worker has seen increasing focus since 2015. Like HR tech in most categories, that focus has been accelerated since the start of the global COVID-19 pandemic. Blink joins an increasingly crowded field of global competitors where emerging startups, scaleups and legacy HCM platforms are vying for this large segment of the global workforce.
