Kyle Hanslovan
CEO, Huntress
"I really appreciate Blu's founder-friendly investment style. Their active engagement provided regular advice on multiple business and investment subjects. In addition, they were flexible during our fundraise as we worked through different scenarios. They were always there for us when needed."
Ray Shealy
CEO, InnerActiv
“Blu Ventures is exactly the kind of value-add investor early-stage cybersecurity companies need. They go far beyond writing a check, bringing real partnership through thoughtful diligence, practical guidance, and a genuine founder-first mindset. Their ability to make meaningful introductions to customers, partners, and advisors has played a direct role in accelerating our growth."
Noel Thomas
CEO, Dark Watch
"Blu Ventures distinguished themselves early through the rigor of their diligence and the clarity of their conviction. Beyond capital, Blu brought immediate leverage through their network which helped us pressure-test assumptions, refine our go-to-market posture, and build credibility with the right stakeholders early. Blu’s deep experience in infrastructure-grade security allowed them to engage meaningfully on both product and market strategy, while maintaining a founder-first approach that respected timelines and execution realities."
