Blink is a mobile-first employee experience platform designed to connect frontline, remote, and office-based workers through a unified digital workspace. It serves as a modern intranet, combining communication, engagement, and operational tools into one super-app. Blink’s mission is to “unlock the potential of every person, team, and organization,” by removing friction in communication and operations and fostering alignment across all levels of a company.
Blink officially launched in January 2019, initially rolling out to 22,000 employees at Stagecoach. Within months, it reached $200k ARR and 35 customers. By October 2019, Blink had expanded to 100 customers across 20 countries. Its growth accelerated with a $10 million investment in May 2020, followed by a $20 million Series A round in November 2021. Blink opened a New York office in 2021 and relocated its executive HQ to Boston in 2022. By early 2023, Blink had surpassed $5 million ARR and expanded into new verticals like manufacturing and logistics.
Blink has raised at least $30 million in funding, including a $10M early investment and a $20M Series A round. While its current valuation is not publicly disclosed, its rapid ARR growth and expansion into global markets suggest strong investor confidence and a scalable business model.
