## About

Established in 2021 by Jay Graber, and based in Washington, US, Bluesky is a software development company that provides a decentralized social media platform. In April 2025, Bluesky PBC raised USD 100 million in series B funding led by Bain Capital, with participation from Anthos Capital, Bloomberg Beta, Knight Enterprise Fund, Alumni Ventures Group, and True Ventures.


Bluesky primarily offers a heavily interactive web application designed to foster social engagement among users. The platform employs advanced JavaScript functionalities to create a dynamic user experience, distinguishing itself from simpler HTML-based interfaces. Bluesky aims to address various social interaction challenges in the digital space by enabling users to connect, share content, and engage in discussions seamlessly. The application targets a diverse client base that includes both individual users and organizations looking to enhance their online presence. Bluesky's services are available in multiple geographical markets, focusing on North America and Europe.

Bluesky generates revenue through a subscription model, allowing customers to access premium features of its web application. Transactions are primarily structured as direct-to-consumer engagements, where users subscribe to various service tiers that offer distinct functionalities tailored to their needs. The company will use the April 2025 funding to expand its engineering, product, and community teams and to accelerate development of its core decentralized AT Protocol infrastructure.
