Bluworks Raises $1M Led by A15 Enza Capital & Beltone VC
Founded in 2022, Bluworks will upgrade its workforce platform and expand across MENA after raising seed funding from regional and Africa-focused investors.
In Egypt’s service economy, many SMEs still manage shifts and attendance on paper. Cairo-based HR tech startup Bluworks is building a digital alternative for frontline and blue-collar teams, offering scheduling, attendance tracking, payroll, compliance, and real-time salary disbursement on one platform.
Bluworks has raised $1 million in seed funding to accelerate growth in Egypt and expand across the Middle East and North Africa. The round was led by A15, Enza Capital, and Beltone Venture Capital, with participation from Acasia Ventures and strategic angel investors. Founded in 2022 by Hussein Wahdan and Farah Osman, the company targets businesses with large frontline workforces and aims to replace manual, fragmented HR processes still common across the region.
Investors cited a large, underserved opportunity in MENA’s workforce sector, where many companies rely on paper logs and disparate software. Bluworks plans to use the capital to deepen its presence in Egypt’s SME market, build strategic partnerships, and begin its regional rollout, while enhancing product capabilities and expanding its commercial footprint.
The seed round follows a previous $1 million pre-seed raise, reflecting investor interest in HR technology for emerging markets.
