Welcome Tech, the self-described “operating system” for immigrant households, has closed a $7.5 million funding round to expand its AI-driven workforce engagement platform. The fresh capital is aimed at accelerating development of proprietary AI infrastructure and broadening access to services that connect immigrant workers to jobs, healthcare, and financial tools—at what the company calls the “highest quality and lowest cost.”
For HR leaders and employers navigating tight labor markets, this marks another sign that tech platforms purpose-built for immigrant talent are gaining serious traction.
A Breakout Year
Welcome Tech isn’t a newcomer—it’s already the largest digital platform serving immigrant households in the U.S., with over 4.5 million registered members. But the past 12 months have been especially transformative:
-
Enterprise partnerships tripled
-
Subscription revenue grew more than 200% year-over-year
-
New partnerships are fueling thousands of subscriber enrollments
“This quarter has marked a meaningful turning point,” said Amir Hemmat, Co-Founder and CEO of Welcome Tech. “This new funding positions us to reach profitability, scale partnerships, and deliver digital-first solutions that unlock economic access for the immigrant workforce that powers our country.”
Who’s Backing the Vision
The round was led by mission-driven institutional investors including TTV Capital, Mubadala Capital, Westbound Equity Partners, CityRock Ventures Partners, Next Legacy Partners, and BTN Ventures.
Investors see Welcome Tech as more than just a business play. “Welcome Tech combines strong business fundamentals with a powerful social impact,” said Oliver Libby, Managing Partner at CityRock Ventures. “Their platform can transform this vital part of the labor market and deliver meaningful solutions to millions of hard workers and their employers.”
Why Employers Care
Labor shortages in industries like hospitality, construction, logistics, and manufacturing have put pressure on employers to rethink recruiting and retention. Welcome Tech’s platform is increasingly being adopted by enterprise partners such as Harri.com, Esusu, Stark Carpet, Instant Financial, and Enstructure, who use it to recruit eligible workers, provide culturally relevant benefits, and improve retention.
That dual value proposition—helping workers access resources while helping employers stabilize their workforce—is why the platform resonates in workforce-critical sectors.
AI as the Differentiator
Where Welcome Tech is betting big is AI. The company plans to use the new funding to:
-
Automate onboarding for employers and workers
-
Deliver personalized, multi-language services at scale
-
Intelligently match workers to job and benefits opportunities
It’s a familiar playbook for HR tech platforms, but tailored specifically to the immigrant experience. By weaving AI into core workflows, Welcome Tech hopes to not only make services more accessible but also drive down costs for employers and workers alike.
“TTV Capital invests in companies solving real-world problems – and Welcome Tech is doing just that,” said Gardiner Garrard, Co-Founder of TTV Capital. “The platform aligns with our thesis around inclusive financial innovation.”
The Bigger Picture
As companies race to fill persistent labor gaps, platforms like Welcome Tech highlight the intersection of HR tech, fintech, and social impact. While competitors like Guild, BetterUp, or even LinkedIn Learning often focus on upskilling and career development, Welcome Tech is carving a niche by addressing the full spectrum of immigrant worker needs—employment, financial wellness, and healthcare—through a unified platform.
Whether the company can translate rapid member growth and AI momentum into long-term profitability remains the big question. But with this latest round, Welcome Tech is better positioned to prove that serving underserved workforces isn’t just socially urgent—it’s commercially viable.
