BloomFi (now part of PayFi)

Dear BloomFi Community, It's been an incredible journey since our last update. We've been tirelessly working towards our vision of making it easier for newcomers to Canada to secure rental housing upon arrival, overcoming numerous obstacles along the way. We're proud to have pioneered rental guarantee as a tool for newcomers to access rental housing in Canada, creating a novel solution and product. However, it's time for our vision to transition to its next phase of realization. I'm pleased to announce that BloomFi's operations and our rental guarantee product have been acquired by Payfi (Techstars ‘23), a company that shares our vision and possesses the resources to comprehensively address this challenge. I encourage our valued customers to transition to utilizing PayFi's services for all their rental guarantee and housing needs. Payfi (Techstars ‘23) shares our commitment to excellence and is well-equipped to provide even greater support and opportunities for those new to Canada seeking rental housing and financing solutions, ensuring continuity and expansion of the services we have worked so hard to develop As part of this transition, I'll be exploring new opportunities, and I want to express my deepest gratitude to everyone who has supported us throughout this journey, from our dedicated team to our mentors and supporters. Your unwavering commitment has been invaluable. Thank you for being part of the BloomFi community. Sincerely, Ben Seun Oyajumo Founder, BloomFi LiftOff by CCAWR Black Founders Network Black Entrepreneurship Alliance

The process flow at BloomFi is such that when people fill the form, they can book a spot right away in one of our information sessions to learn more about how BloomFi can make their relocation process smoother. And because it's all automated, information about people filling the form (non-identifying of course) is also being sent through an ETL pipeline to a #PowerBI dashboard where myself and other senior team members can see trends and make nimble decisions about sales, marketing and even customer support. Moving to Canada and concerned about the challenges with finding a place to rent on arrival? Don't be! Visit https://beta.bloomfi.tech/ to find out how we can help.

About a week ago, we were represented at the Africa AI Impact Summit 2023 by our founder, Ebenezer Seun Oyajumo where he shared our vision & plans to help #immigrants settle easily into a new country with the panel of judges and the audience. Amidst stiff competition from other #AIFirst companies impacting the African continent and populace, we are glad to announce that we came in first place winning the pitch competition. Our thanks goes to the organizers of the summit, the speakers who shared their deep corpus of knowledge, the sponsors and other companies who participated. We look forward to more #African-led companies building, succeeding and making an impact with #ArtificialIntelligence on and outside the continent.
