Our take
Apps catering to frontline workers are seeing a surge of interest in the market these days, as businesses finally start to wake up to using tech to better connect with these employees, and investors eye up an interesting and new growth opportunity in enterprise IT.
Blink’s particular approach has been to try to create a user interface, and functionality, that caters both to asynchronous activities as well as real-time information, the idea being that front-line workers are most likely not going to be looking at the app continuously throughout the day, so the priority for making sure important things surface when they do is especially higher.
Blink was founded in London — where it has found strong traction with metropolitan bus networks and the NHS (where thousands of frontline workers in clinical and nonclinical roles are on Blink).
Now Blink is HQ’d in New York in an attempt to focus on the U.S. market. There are an estimated 2.7 billion people working on the front line according to the company, so there’s a fair amount of room for growth despite an increasingly competitive landscape with well-funded projects like Justworks, Workplace from Meta and When I Work.

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion at Blink
Blaise Daldin (Sourcing Lead)
- We know there’s much more to be done, and are actively invested in driving deep, meaningful change towards broader representation in our workforce. All leaders and employees involved in the hiring process will undergo inclusion and unconscious bias training, while looking to support and partner with diverse communities and networks at every opportunity.
- Diversity and inclusion remain our #1 priority as the team continues to grow. We’ve added new recruitment initiatives over the past six months to attract a wide range of applicants that generates a diverse shortlist for every new role. We’ve also reviewed our employer branding and advertising to ensure content and language are inclusive throughout. So far, this has improved our gender balance by 20%:
- Blink is committed to nurturing a culture of belonging that celebrates diversity in all its forms – and encourages employees to bring their whole selves to work.
