Alumna Pavla Bobosikova’s startup WFHomie acquired by GoCo to become all-in-one HR platform

February 17, 2023 by Cindy Wang

Employee experience startup WFHomie has been acquired by Houston-based HR management platform GoCo.io.

“It’s just a super-nice environment where it feels like a win-win,” says Pavla Bobosikova, co-founder and CEO.

Founded in 2020, WFHomie built its company with the aim to take advantage of the emergence of new datasets related to remote-first and flexible work. It sensed a big opportunity to crunch this data into actionable employee engagement-related insights for companies. That focus led the startup to secure $1.9 million CAD in seed financing in late 2021 to fuel the growth of its employee engagement solution.

WFHomie’s investors included a group of venture firms and angels from Canada, the United States, and Western Europe. Over its three years, WFHomie garnered customers that included Wealthsimple, Facebook, Google, Spotify, and Indeed.
