Mobile app content management system enables organizations to easily launch and manage mobile apps, send targeted mobile messages and more.
FISHERS, Ind. – (June 17, 2015) – Bluebridge, the SaaS company that provides a mobile app platform and tools to help organizations such as corporate enterprises, churches, tourism bureaus and universities interact with their audiences through world-class, full-featured, customized mobile apps, today announced the closing of a $2 million financing round co-led by Cultivation Capital and Allos Ventures. Angel investors Bill Godfrey, founder of Aprimo, Scott Dorsey, co-founder and former CEO of ExactTarget and the HALO Investor Group also participated in the investment.
The company is also launching the next generation of its proprietary mobile app content management system, the Bluebridge Mobile App Studio. The one-of-a-kind platform will make it even easier for users to take control of their app management, allowing organizations to update and edit all app content in real time—with the ease of a drag-and-drop interface. Users can now design, organize and instantly preview their mobile app; integrate third party partner tools such as Facebook, Twitter, and a variety of CRM and CMS tools; manage and send push notifications and more.

From 2013 to 2014, the company increased its revenue by 200 percent and doubled its customer base. Bluebridge recently moved to a new office in Fishers, Indiana to accommodate its rapidly growing team, which more than doubled in size last year. The $2 million round will allow for investment in development resources to continue improving its world-class product, further accelerate Bluebridge’s growth into new market segments and continue a dedicated focus on customer success.
