Egyptian Startup bluworks Secures $1 Million in Funding to Optimize Blue-Collar Workforce Management

Egyptian startup bluworks, specializing in HR solutions for blue-collar workers, has successfully raised $1 million in a pre-Seed investment round. The round was led by Saudi venture capital firm Khawarizmi Ventures, with additional participation from Camel Ventures, Acasia Ventures, and several angel investors.

Founded in 2022 by Farah Osman, Hussein Wahdan, and Nour Ahmadein, bluworks is the first HR technology SaaS platform in the region dedicated to the lifecycle management of blue-collar employees in sectors including retail, F&B, and construction. The platform aims to simplify HR and operational tasks, thus reducing costs and enhancing decision-making through data.

The company, which has already onboarded thousands of workers and notable clients like Crave and Cilantro, intends to use the investment to further develop its product and expand its team. Bluworks' technology significantly reduces the time required for tasks such as payroll, from up to ten days to just one day, by automating and integrating data collection across HR functions.

This funding aims to support bluworks in becoming the leading solution for companies managing blue-collar employees in the Middle East and Africa, a region with over 50 million blue-collar workers.
