About Us

Blueberry is building the 1:1 marketer for the world’s most ambitious brands. The way brands engage with customers is fundamentally shifting. In the early days, founders reply to every comment, DM every follower, and know customers by name. But as audiences grow into the hundreds of thousands or millions, that intimacy breaks. Even with social managers, no team can authentically know every follower — so brands default to 1:many channels like mass email, SMS, and generic posts.

The personal touch disappears.

At Blueberry, we’re rebuilding that intimacy  product performs deep research on social followers, enables brands to authentically engage through personalized DMs, and delivers the perfect offer tailored to each customer at exactly the right moment. What once felt impossible — knowing every follower by name and why they care about your brand— is now achievable.

In under 3 months, we're live with 10+ customers — including NBA teams, and several 8- and 9-figure direct-to-consumer (DTC) companies..

We’re backed by Pear VC (first checks into Doordash, Dropbox, and Gusto) and Founders, Inc. Now, we’re hiring the founding team that will scale Blueberry across the world’s largest brands.
