The investment will be used to advance the platform's technology, enhance user experience, and expand the company's growing team, according to a press release. Founded by Shaimaa Alghamdi, Flawless integrates generative AI and social psychology insights to offer tailored career recommendations to individuals navigating professional transitions. The platform originated as a blog in 2023 and transformed into a full-fledged digital startup in 2024, targeting unmet demand in the career support space. In line with the economic development of Saudi Vision 2030, Flawless quickly scaled by identifying a gap in the market for intelligent, tech-driven career guidance. The company aims to evolve its services and widen its reach across Saudi Arabia and beyond. Alghamdi commented: 'What began as a passion project is now a data-driven platform helping thousands make smarter career decisions. This funding validates our approach and gives us the fuel to scale responsibly and impactfully.'
