Bluecopa, an AI-powered finance operations (FinOps) automation platform, announced on Wednesday that it has secured $1.8 million in a pre-Series A funding round. The investment will be used to broaden the company’s market presence, enhance AI capabilities, and accelerate product development. The round was led by Blume Ventures, Dallas Venture Capital, and Venture Catalysts.
Founded in 2021, Bluecopa provides FinOps solutions through data intelligence and automation, addressing the needs of industries such as eCommerce, financial services, travel, logistics, and gaming. The platform aims to streamline financial operations for teams, offering an innovative approach to finance management.
“FinOps automation is a massive opportunity globally. We are excited to partner with some of the leading VCs to drive Bluecopa’s growth. This funding will fuel our mission to deliver exceptional value to our customers,” said Satya Prakash Buddhavarapu, co-founder and CEO of Bluecopa.
The company was co-founded by Satya Prakash Buddhavarapu, Nilotpal Chanda, and Raghavendra Reddy. Before launching Bluecopa, the trio had previously founded Optotax, a tax management platform that was later acquired by neobanking platform Open. Additionally, Buddhavarapu’s earlier venture, Tuplejump, a machine learning firm, was acquired by tech giant Apple in 2016.
Commenting on the investment, Sanjay Nath, co-founder of Blume Ventures, said, “We are excited to support Bluecopa’s commitment to solving end-to-end finance operations challenges for enterprises. The team’s deep industry expertise combined with their best-in-class product is already delivering measurable outcomes for their customers.”
