Bluebridge Digital





Based in Fishers, Indiana, Bluebridge is built on a revolutionary platform that allows organizations, regardless of size, to create a mobile app. Bluebridge empowers tourism destinations, churches and colleges with affordable tools to help connect them with their customers and prospects. By meeting consumers where they are, Bluebridge provides an engaging direct marketing channel that connects individuals while encouraging them to interact in a fresh, new way. Bluebridge believes mobile apps are the gateway to better relationships between organizations and their audiences, and help historically un-tech-savvy industries succeed in the realm of mobile both before and after an app launches. In December 2013, Indiana Governor Mike Pence announced Bluebridge’s plan to invest $300,000 in expansion and add 199 new jobs by 2022. Today, Bluebridge is the number one tourism app developer in the country by number of clients and has grown from three to 25 employees in two years.

Santiago Jaramillo

Founder and CEO

Santiago Jaramillo began perusing entrepreneurship at 7 years old, when he started a business selling water to neighbors in Colombia. The Jaramillo family immigrated to the United States when Santiago was 10, after political unrest turned to violence in his hometown. Eleven years later, Santiago founded Bluebridge Digital from his college dorm room. When Santiago first started Bluebridge, a mobile app development company focused on helping traditionally non-tech-savvy organizations like colleges, churches and tourism destinations better connect with their customers, 97% of businesses had no mobile strategy. Santiago knew he had an opportunity to enter an industry with great demand and little competition. One year after starting Bluebridge, Santiago was named one of Inc. magazine’s “30 World’s Coolest Entrepreneurs Under 30.” Today, Bluebridge is serving more than 150 clients and Santiago is a widely-recognized speaker and guest lecturer on topics relating to mobile technology, productivity and engagement.
