Company mission

Bloom's mission is to provide coaching at scale through an innovative, next-generation career coaching app, and to make quality career coaching available to people across all grades, demographics, and backgrounds - not just a privilege for management and executives.

Our take

Fluctuating work environments have a detrimental impact on employees, with a significant number (79%) expressing unhappiness due to a lack of career success. Additionally, over 80% of employees report reduced productivity resulting from a perceived absence of rewards and recognition.

Addressing these challenges, Bloom is a career coaching app that aims to maximise employee productivity, efficiency, and performance. Unlike many coaching services that primarily target managers, Bloom caters to all employees by offering gamified learning experiences, providing a comprehensive coaching solution.

Co-founders Jamie and Alastair have a proven track record of building successful technology businesses for over a decade, and with this, they are positioning Bloom to be a prominent brand in the Future of Work landscape. By offering a holistic approach to career development, Bloom seeks to enable individuals to thrive and become a driving force in shaping the future of work.
