Cairo — 23 November 2025:

Bluworks (bluworks.io), a Cairo-based HR tech startup specializing in workforce management solutions, has closed a $1 million seed funding round to accelerate its growth across Egypt and expand regionally. The round was led by A15, Enza Capital, Beltone Venture Capital, and Acasia Ventures, alongside strategic angel investors.

Led by co-founders Hussein Wahdan and Farah Osman, bluworks has demonstrated strong traction since its launch in 2022. The platform tackles blue-collar workforce management challenges through features including employee scheduling, attendance tracking, payroll processing, real-time salary disbursement, and compliance management tailored specifically to Egyptian regulatory requirements.

The company’s mission to simplify workforce management for businesses aligns with the increasing digitization needs of SMEs across the region—particularly in industries that rely heavily on blue-collar labor, where traditional HR processes often lack efficiency and transparency.

“We’ve known the bluworks team for a few years and have been consistently impressed by their focus and execution,” said Bassem Raafat, Principal at A15. “Blue-collar workforce management is a massive yet overlooked segment, still dependent on pen and paper, spreadsheets, or outdated software. bluworks is changing that with a high-engagement platform that streamlines shift management, attendance, payroll, and more, while creating a powerful entry point into a large, hard-to-reach segment that represents the majority of the working population in our markets. We’re thrilled to back the team on this journey and support them in building the digital backbone for this underserved market.”

The newly raised funding will support three core strategic objectives:

Deepening the startup’s penetration in the Egyptian market by expanding its SME client base and enhancing platform capabilities.

Forging new strategic partnerships to introduce additional services.

Driving geographic expansion across key MENA markets.

“Labor is the backbone of African economies, yet remains underserved by technology,” said Abdelrahman Hassan, Principal at Enza Capital. “bluworks is transforming how millions of frontline workers are paid, managed, and empowered. By focusing on this segment, bluworks unlocks new economic productivity and drives financial inclusion across Egypt and beyond. With strong traction, a stellar team, and a vast market opportunity, bluworks is poised to become the platform of choice for employers and employees alike.”

Commenting on the funding milestone, Hussein Wahdan, CEO of bluworks, stated:

“This investment marks a pivotal step for bluworks. We’ve proven the strength of our model in Egypt, and now we’re ready to scale faster—both by deepening our presence locally and by exploring regional opportunities. Our mission remains unchanged: to give companies the tools to manage their workforce more efficiently while creating better outcomes for employees.”
