ValueBlue Spreads Its Wings After Major Investment

ValueBlue, the SaaS supplier that increases the success of its customers by providing insight into relationships between data, IT, and business, today announces that it has received a two million euro investment from Newion.

ValueBlue’s mission is to provide organizations worldwide with real-time, up-to-date control information that allows them to quickly, easily, and structurally realize their goals.

The more than 100 satisfied ValueBlue clients are able to respond more quickly to opportunities and developments, save on costs through better IT deployment, continuously innovate by relying on data, and work on commitment thanks to up-to-date, high-quality management information.

Jelle Visser, business development & marketing manager ValueBlue: “We are very happy with Newion’s capital injection and will use it to meet growing customer demand in the Benelux and North America. With our BlueDolphin solution, we currently have very little competition. We therefore want to continue developments and further strengthen our market position in the aforementioned regions.”

Patrick Polak, founder and managing partner of Newion: “We see parallels with our other enterprise SaaS investments that are internationally successful. Thanks to the simplicity of its solution, ValueBlue clients can accelerate their digital transformation.”

Jelle Visser, commercial manager at ValueBlue, explains that since the release of BlueDolphin, his company has shown impressive growth figures (two to three hundred percent annually), and therefore appeared on the Dutch Newion Investments’ radar. “Newion likes to invest in European companies, especially start-ups who wish to make the step towards scale-up. Of course, we already call ourselves a scale-up. With forty employees, we’re quite a large company now.”
