Weeks before its move to a new office in Fishers, an app development company started in its founder's Indiana Wesleyan University dorm is reporting significant growth.

News Release

FISHERS, Ind. – Bluebridge , provider of a mobile app communication platform that empowers organizations to engage and connect with their audience, today released the details of its most successful year since being founded in 2011.

In 2014, Bluebridge:

-Increased new revenues by 200 percent compared to 2013.

-More than doubled its workforce from 12 to 25 Ind. employees.

-Increased its customer base by 144 percent.

-Secured $1.5 million of growth capital, led by notable local investors including Bill Godfrey, founder of Aprimo, Scott Dorsey, cofounder and former CEO of ExactTarget, and Tim Kopp, former CMO of ExactTarget.

-Finished the year with its strongest quarter ever, with 39 new app subscriptions sold in

Q4.

-Welcomed several notable new customers such as Purdue University, the State of

Indiana, Jacksonville, Fla. and Trinity Fellowship Church.

This success follows a phenomenal 2013 year which saw Bluebridge grow from a fourperson

company with six customers, to 12 employees and over 100 customers.

The substantial growth of the company in its first few years has led to the need for expanded

work space. Bluebridge plans to move to a new downtown Fishers office location currently

under construction in early April 2015 from its current space in the Forum Credit Union

building within Exit Five Corporate Park, also in Fishers.

“Bluebridge's success in 2014 can be attributed to our focus on scaling sales and marketing

while making improvements to our mobile app platform. These activities resulted in

unprecedented levels of success for our customers,” said Santiago Jaramillo, CEO and

founder of Bluebridge. “We are still in the beginning phases of the mobile/smartphone

revolution. Organizations are just now making investments into mobile apps and we're thrilled to be positioned as a leading provider in the markets we address.”

Bluebridge plans to fuel future growth by continuing to invest in the Bluebridge Mobile App

Platform and by attracting the best possible talent to the company.
