Custom Software
For Start-Up Companies

Blueberry is often approached by entrepreneurs with an idea for a new business application. We’ve probably seen a hundred such ideas since we started in 1997. Unlike other consultants, our business expertise is free, and given politely. If we think an idea won’t work, we’ll help steer it back on track by suggesting improvements. If a business idea is strong, we’ll work hard to make the vision a reality, and we have a track record to prove it.

Blueberry has over 20 years’ experience in helping entrepreneurs build market-winning software, including big investor-backed start-up projects. If you’re an entrepreneur looking to exit, we’ve had many successes with adding value to an initial concept to make it a more attractive purchase for other companies.

Our successful exits include Pharmax, bought out by pharmaceutical wholesaler, United Drug in 2017; Dimec acquired in 2018 by the Co-op in a multi-million pound deal; and IPI Solutions, sold to Ideagen for £5.5m. There are many others – and we’re happy to talk about those without NDA restrictions. Just ask.

One of the most sought-after exits for online business owners is a trade sale.

We’ve helped many entrepreneurs who have created a lifestyle business – one where they collect a decent salary, don’t work long hours and have a small team of people and loyal clients. This type of business doesn’t necessarily need an exit strategy.

However, if you’re an investor, we fully appreciate that an exit strategy is important for understanding an entrepreneur’s level of commitment and to evaluate the validity/reality of their plan and expected trajectory. A legitimate exit strategy gives potential investors a timeline and a yardstick for their ROI.

Blueberry has a deep understanding of entrepreneurship and can provide business expertise to entrepreneurs in the form of guidance and mentorship to achieve their aims. We also have the tools and resources in place to quickly create a minimum viable product and get it to market fast.
