Blue Colibri App was born from an HR consultancy firm as a much needed all-around solution addressing the widespread issues faced by our former clients in ther day-to-day business activities. We've come a long way from our beginnings, and we're extremely proud of both our roots and the enthusiastic response we've received from the people who have helped us build this platform.
Together with our partners, Blue Colibri is constantly evolving to meet the demands of partners and those in search for more connection and productivity at the workplace.
The idea of Blue Colibri App is born, handwritten on a random piece of paper. (Hey, seems like journaling actually works sometimes!)
We received a seed investment from OXO Technologies Holding

Brand new Administration features launched, making the App suitable for managing administrative tasks as well.
We received investments from Bonitás Capital Fund and OXO Technologies Holding Plc.
We were able to exhibit our application at WebSummit, one of Europe's largest technology conferences.
After some re-branding, our new logo and brand book were born.
