Led by CEO Charlie Varley, Bloom is creating an all-in-one social platform for crypto trading. It brings together social media, on-chain data, decentralized trading, and portfolio tracking in a single app.

The startup has already received strong early recognition, placing among the Top 3 Consumer Startups at Paris Blockchain Week and completing the well-regarded Creative Destruction Lab program.

Bloom is developing a social platform for modern finance that turns trading activity into shareable content.

Users can showcase their performance, while others can discover, follow, and learn from it. The goal is to make investing more interactive, transparent, and community-driven.
