WorkJam

WorkJam

WorkJam was founded in 2014 by Steven Kramer in Montreal, Quebec, operating as a family office-run enterprise software firm rather than a traditional investment vehicle. Kramer had previously founded Buffalo Communications, a digital advertising agency acquired earlier in his career. The company focuses on workforce scheduling, task management, and employee communications for frontline industries. WorkJam's platform targets retail, hospitality, and logistics sectors, managing shift scheduling, task lists, and real-time employee messaging. The firm raised $12 million in a Series A round in 2016 led by Canadian growth-equity firm iNovia Capital and BDC Capital, per public records. Known clients include TJX Companies, Aritzia, and Enterprise Rent-A-Car, per the firm's website. The software integrates with human-resource tools like Workday and ADP. The firm remains privately held and headquartered in Montreal, with no publicly disclosed employee count, AUM, or deployment figures. As of 2024, the firm continues to operate as a software company within the family office structure, per public filings. No recent fundraising rounds have been publicly reported since the 2016 Series A. WorkJam's structural differentiator is its status as a family office that built a B2B SaaS platform, not a traditional asset manager — making it an operating company led by its founder rather than a capital allocator. This hybrid model is rare in the family office universe, where most entities focus on passive or active capital deployment.
