Affinda

AI document extraction platform originally built for resume parsing, now covering invoices and broader business document automation.

Affinda was founded in Melbourne, Australia in 2012 by brothers Tim Toner and Dr Ben Toner, making it one of the longer-running companies in the document AI space. It started by solving a narrow problem for recruitment platforms and job boards, including SEEK, parsing resumes into structured candidate data automatically instead of relying on recruiters to key it in by hand. That resume and job-description parsing business remains a core product line today. Over the past decade Affinda expanded from resume parsing into broader intelligent document processing, adding an invoice extractor and a wider document automation platform aimed at finance and operations teams, while keeping its original HR customer base. The company raised a $10 million round in mid-2024 from a group of family offices and high-net-worth investors at a reported $120 million valuation, funding continued expansion of its AI transformation and agentic automation offerings. Affinda now serves customers in more than 80 countries and positions itself as a broader AI transformation partner alongside its original parsing products.
