BLUE14 Investment: November 2018
Investment stage: Scaling Up
Blue 14 has been instrumental in Aray’s growth. Their contribution goes beyond just investment—they’ve built a thriving community of founders and provide invaluable mentorship. It’s a support system like no other, and I’m proud to be a part of it. It’s rare to find people who take the time to understand your vision, champion you as a founder, and provide a springboard for success. Regardless of the stage you’re at, I highly recommend considering Blue 14 as a partner.
