Our Values

Pursue success, be humble about it: We partner with founders that showcase grit, humility and resilience and that are willing to delay instant gratification for long term gain.

Give a damn: We do things for a reason, and that reason is making the world around us a better place. We strive to give back to our community.

Do the right thing and be accountable: We’re transparent and operate with high integrity. We choose what's right over what's easy.

Do one thing at a time, well: We support doing one thing at a time, very well. We leverage clear roadmaps to bring the structure needed to execute on company wide objectives.

Our philosophy:

At Bleu, you'll find a different, more personal way of working and being. We're here because we love what we do, and welcome your contributions. Our intention is to be helpful, human and open. But that doesn't mean we don't take our work seriously. This is a partnership of equals, between founders and investors.
