Welcome Tech raises $7.5M to expand AI-powered platform for immigrant workforce

Welcome Tech, a Los Angeles-based startup serving immigrant communities and the employers who rely on them, has secured $7.5 million to grow its AI infrastructure and workforce engagement platform. The company connects millions of immigrant workers with jobs, healthcare, and financial tools at a fraction of the cost of traditional services.

The raise caps off a breakout year for the company. Over the past twelve months, Welcome Tech tripled its enterprise partnerships, grew subscription revenue by more than 200% year-over-year, and surpassed 4.5 million registered members—making it the most widely used digital platform for immigrant households in the U.S.

“This quarter has marked a meaningful turning point – from closing a highly successful capital raise to launching strategic enterprise partnerships that are now fueling thousands of new subscriber enrollments,” 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.”

Backed by mission-driven capital

The $7.5 million round drew backing from investors focused on innovation and impact, including TTV Capital, Mubadala Capital, Westbound Equity Partners, CityRock Ventures Partners, Next Legacy Partners, and BTN Ventures.

“Welcome Tech combines strong business fundamentals with a powerful social impact,” said Oliver Libby, Managing Partner at CityRock Ventures. “We believe in their platform and its ability to transform this vital part of the labor market and deliver meaningful solutions to help literally millions of hard workers and their employers across some of the most crucial sectors in the American economy.”

Scaling across industries with labor shortages

Welcome Tech’s platform is finding traction in industries struggling to recruit and retain workers, including hospitality, construction, logistics, manufacturing, and financial services. Partners such as Harri.com, Esusu, Stark Carpet, Instant Financial, and Enstructure are already using the system to connect with qualified workers, offer culturally relevant benefits, and improve retention.

“TTV Capital invests in companies solving real-world problems – and Welcome Tech is doing just that with a platform that is purpose-built for immigrants,” said Gardiner Garrard, Co-Founder and Managing Partner at TTV Capital. “The team has built a powerful, tech-forward solution that aligns directly with our thesis around inclusive financial innovation. We are proud to support Amir and the team as they scale this next phase of growth.”

Building AI-driven access

The company plans to use the fresh funding to expand its AI capabilities. Features in development include automated onboarding, personalized multi-language service delivery, and intelligent job-and-benefit matching—tools meant to drive efficiency and provide more affordable, accessible services at scale.

“Westbound backs founders solving hard problems in overlooked markets – and Welcome Tech is a standout example. Amir’s and Raul’s vision for building infrastructure that supports underserved workforces is both socially urgent and commercially smart. We are thrilled to support this next chapter,” said Will Bumpus, Partner at Westbound Equity Partners.

“Welcome Tech is building an amazing platform serving communities of great need and capacity that have historically been overlooked,” added BTN Ventures general partner Sean Sebastian. “We’re privileged to be part of their journey enabling millions of immigrant families to fully realize their piece of the American dream.”

With more than 4.5 million registered members and a growing roster of enterprise clients, Welcome Tech is betting that its AI-driven approach will help reshape economic participation for immigrant workers while giving employers better tools to recruit and support them.
