Company profile
researched Aug 2026Blomma is an AI career coaching platform aimed at professionals who lack access to the structured coaching typically reserved for senior executives. The product is delivered as a web app and an iPhone app (App Store developer name: Coach Bloom, category Business, 13+ age rating) and centers on four capabilities: a chat interface for thinking through challenges and workshopping feedback or ideas; goal-setting with built-in accountability follow-through; a dashboard for tracking patterns, momentum and progress over time; and a "My Resources" area where users upload context such as performance reviews, development plans and goals to personalize coaching. The app also supports voice mode, document uploads for context, and weekly and monthly insight reports generated from user conversations.
The company positions Blomma as a proactive coaching and accountability system rather than a reactive general-purpose assistant. It incorporates goals, insights, memory and contextual inputs such as calendars, notes, resumes and performance reviews, and produces practical outputs including performance review drafts, personal "read me" documents, and communication frameworks. Blomma targets moments described as most shaping performance — feedback, high-stakes conversations, shifting priorities and leadership transitions. Alongside the core product, the company publishes career-advice content on its site and, in July 2026, released a free resume analysis tool at blomma.com/resume-support that assesses a resume the way a hiring manager would and identifies skills the user should build.
Founding story
Public coverage of the company's April 2026 launch describes Blomma as founded by Silvia Oviedo López, a former Pinterest and Canva executive who serves as co-founder and CEO, and Siddhartha Dabral, a Button co-founder and engineering leader who serves as co-founder and CTO. Oviedo López has stated the motivating premise is that coaching "should not be an executive privilege" and should be accessible to everyone; in a July 2026 company post she described repeatedly receiving questions from job seekers about why their resumes were not advancing and building tooling in response. Dabral is described as bringing a systems perspective from building infrastructure across scaled and emerging technology environments.
Business model
Blomma sells direct to individual professionals. The iPhone app is listed as free with in-app purchases and advertises a first two weeks of coaching free, indicating a freemium/trial-to-paid consumer subscription approach; the website carries a dedicated Pricing page and a Coaching section. Specific price points are not disclosed in the available sources.
Consumer app monetized through in-app purchases following a two-week free coaching trial, per the App Store listing. No pricing tiers or revenue figures are disclosed in the sources.
Traction
Publicly verifiable traction is limited. The iPhone app held a 4.9 average rating across 26 ratings as of the research date, with reviews spanning April to July 2026, and the app had reached version 1.2.8. No user, revenue or retention figures are disclosed.
Latest developments
On July 27, 2026, co-founder and CEO Silvia Oviedo López announced a free resume feedback tool at blomma.com/resume-support that evaluates a resume as a hiring manager would and recommends skills to build. Recent app releases added resume support within the coach, Google SSO (v1.2.7, August 11), and an Insights Report delivering weekly and monthly insights from user conversations.

Market position
Blomma frames itself within a shift in workplace technology from efficiency and output tools toward tools that enable human performance and growth. The company cites a 2025 Hoover Institution survey finding that 95% of CEOs rely on professional coaches or trusted advisors while most of the workforce lacks comparable support, and World Economic Forum projections that by 2030, 22% of jobs will be disrupted and 39% of core skills will change. It positions AI coaching as a way to scale access to reflection, feedback and accountability rather than as a replacement for human coaches. Its stated point of contrast is with general-purpose AI chat assistants and with resume-rewriting or ATS-optimization tools.
The company differentiates on being purpose-built for coaching rather than a general assistant: proactive accountability, persistent memory of goals and context, longitudinal insight tracking, and structured outputs tied to workplace moments. On its resume tool, the company contrasts its approach — explaining why a human reader set a resume aside and what skills to build — with tools that rewrite resumes or tune them for applicant tracking systems.
Technology
Blomma is an AI-based coaching system that, unlike general-purpose AI assistants, is designed to be proactive rather than reactive. It maintains goals, insights and memory, and ingests contextual inputs such as calendars, notes, resumes, performance reviews and development plans to tailor guidance. Outputs include performance review drafts, personal "read me" documents and communication frameworks. The mobile app supports voice mode, document upload for context, Google single sign-on, and automatically generated weekly and monthly insight reports.
Go-to-market
Direct-to-consumer distribution via the website and the iOS App Store, supported by a free two-week coaching trial, a free resume-analysis tool used as an acquisition channel, SEO-oriented career-advice content on the company site, named testimonials from operators at companies including Pinterest and Instagram, and social channels on Instagram, Threads, TikTok and Substack. The launch was supported by press-release distribution and trade press coverage.
Individual professionals across career stages, including people early in their careers, those stepping into leadership, and workers navigating transitions or role changes; marketing materials reference leaders, builders and operators, and reviews cite users in tech roles. The stated aim is to extend coaching beyond the C-suite to the broader workforce.
Geography
Headquartered in San Francisco, California. The iPhone app is distributed on the US App Store and listed in English only.
History
Blomma launched publicly on April 29, 2026 out of San Francisco, announcing more than $5 million in seed funding led by Viviana Faga, general partner at Felicis, with the round reported by trade press on April 30, 2026. The iPhone app was available at launch, with the earliest App Store user reviews dated April 29, 2026. Subsequent product updates included Google SSO (version 1.2.7, August 11), resume support in the coach, and an Insights Report feature delivering weekly and monthly insights (version released shortly before the research date). A free standalone resume feedback tool was announced on July 27, 2026.
Risks & controversies
No controversies are reported in the available sources. Notable profile caveats: much of the available information derives from company-issued launch materials, including a paid press release distributed via XPR Media/EZ Newswire and published on USA Today, and traction evidence is limited to a small number of App Store ratings. The company itself states its resume tool "won't get you a job." Internal records list Alexandra Nikolajev as founder, which is not corroborated by any of the public sources reviewed, all of which name Silvia Oviedo López and Siddhartha Dabral as founders.
