Bluecore, a company that personalizes online stores, is valued as having a billion-dollar potential. This year alone, the company has accumulated $125 million in investment. The round’s lead investor was Georgian, a multibillion-dollar financial company that makes investments in fast-growing software businesses that effectively use data.
Georgian increased its ownership of Bluecore by twofold for the second year in a row. FirstMark and Norwest, two more prior investors, as well as new investor Silver Lake Waterman, joined it. Bluecore has a $1 billion valuation as a result of the most recent investment, bringing its total capital to over $225 million as per 1bmillertechcrunch.
We’ve spent the past eight years building for this inevitable moment where all retailers are driving growth through eCommerce. Our role will always be to predict the industry’s shifts so we can guide retailers through ongoing transformation.
Bluecore will be able to complete the process of bridging the gap between data collection and distribution for mobile apps with the help of this most recent round of funding, as well as increase its staff and product offerings.
By a wide margin, this Series E funding transaction is the largest Series E raise to date. It was also the year’s quickest Series E raise, taking just 8 weeks to finish.
The fact that we were able to surpass last year’s $110 million Series D round in less than half the time again shows how excited people are about what we’ve created at Bluecore and what’s yet to come, according to CEO Ian Swanson.
Over the past two years, the retail industry has seen sales shift from an 85 percent physical shop share to a 50/50 online-offline split as consumers shifted to rapid, personalized customer experiences.
Today, more than 75% of customers are anticipated to initiate their encounter with a retailer through digital channels, regardless of whether the ultimate purchase is made online or in a physical location.
For the collection of data and the transmission of anonymous datasets, Bluecore offers a one-stop shop. BMW, Nintendo, and Zynga are just a few of the companies that have utilized Bluecore. On behalf of its clients, the company’s platform currently powers more than 1 billion daily mobile ad requests.
In this modern, digitally first world, the customer’s journey does not end with the acquisition. Long-term success depends on turning one-time clients into repeat ones, which necessitates creating a series of thrilling experiences while people browse and evaluate products online.
This is impossible for general-purpose computers to do, which results in sluggish and fragmented digital experiences. E-commerce-specific solutions are needed by companies that offer their products online.
The most effective method for businesses to encourage the growth of e-Commerce is marketing that focuses on the entire customer lifecycle, whether done as part of an omnichannel strategy or as a pure play direct-to-consumer model.

According to Jeff Jordan, partner at Andreessen Horowitz, “Bluecore’s extraordinary growth is a testament to the efficacy of their mobile analytics technology.”
This most recent round of fundraising will provide us with more money so we can keep developing new products for our clients. We are pleased to collaborate with Bluecore in what will undoubtedly be another amazing year.
Alex Studer, CTO, and CEO Ian Swanson launched Bluecore in 2011. The business has offices in London and Barcelona in addition to its headquarters in San Francisco. Investors including Andreessen Horowitz, Draper Fisher Jurvetson, Index Ventures, and New Enterprise Associates have contributed $125 million to Bluecore so far.
In the era of “Personal Commerce,” stores now face competition from both other companies and every other digital experience. According to Fayez Mohamood, CEO and Founder of Bluecore, customers expect the same level of 1:1 curation from retail businesses that they get from services like Netflix, Spotify, and other top-notch experiences.
We have been planning for the inevitable day when e-commerce would be the main engine of growth for all firms for the last eight years. It will always be our obligation to forecast market changes in order to assist retailers in navigating ongoing transformation.
The world’s fastest-growing retail companies use Bluecore’s marketing technologies to convert sporadic customers into loyal ones.
Thanks to Bluecore’s patented shopper and product matching technology and the launch of Bluecore CommunicateTM, Bluecore SiteTM, and Bluecore AdvertiseTM, brands can now completely personalize the communications they deliver to customers through their email, e-commerce, and paid media shopping experiences.
Bluecore replaces laborious processes with an effective, AI-driven workflow, enabling enterprises to manage these communications through a single interface. In 2019, the business took a big risk when it announced the first shared-success pricing model in the industry.
