What Bluebox does

Bluebox is a U.S.-headquartered software company that secures enterprise data as it interacts with employee mobile devices, applications, and services, positioned in the mobile security / enterprise mobility management segment. Founded in 2012 and based in San Francisco with a stated headcount of 11-50 employees, the company built and shipped software intended to protect corporate information across the mobile endpoint surface. Capital history includes a $9.5M Andreessen Horowitz-led round in June 2012 and an $18M Tenaya Capital-led round in January 2014, with Andreessen Horowitz, SV Angel, QueensBridge Venture Partners, and Sherpalo Ventures participating across both rounds; Western Technology Investment was also involved in a 2015 transaction. Following 2015, no further product, capital, hiring, or partnership disclosures for this U.S. entity were identified in available sources, and the company's primary domain (bluebox.com) now appears to resolve to an unrelated Gallagher Insurance Brokers India corporate portal, indicating either domain disposition, business wind-down, or a significant data gap. Notably, several source blocks describe a separate Chilean/Latin American innovation platform also named "Bluebox" (focused on startup-corporate matching for sustainability verticals), but that entity's profile contradicts the firm's U.S. mobile-security firmographics and is treated here as a conflated, unrelated company.
