About

Welcome to Bluest

Why Bluest?  At Bluest, our mission goes beyond just providing solutions – we're here to ignite the dreams of entrepreneurs and uplift marginalized communities worldwide. Founded by Dee Claxton, a visionary third-generation entrepreneur, our journey is steeped in a legacy of resilience and determination.

Our Founder and Managing Partner, Dee Claxton story is one of humble beginnings and unwavering tenacity. From her childhood in Connecticut to her roots in Tortola and Nevis, West Indies, Dee learned the ropes of entrepreneurship early on, from answering the family phone to assisting her grandfather with rental properties. Yet, despite her heritage, Dee initially sought refuge in the corporate world. It was only after facing the abrupt upheaval of a federal government layoff that Dee fully embraced her entrepreneurial spirit, starting her journey as a Realtor and later founding DMR to serve global markets.

However, Dee's path was not without its challenges. The aftermath of 9/11 taught her invaluable lessons about resilience and adaptation as her company faced an abrupt market shift. Yet, from adversity emerged a deeper purpose: to empower others on their entrepreneurial journey. Recognizing the fragmented landscape of entrepreneurship, Dee founded Bluest in 2019, driven by a commitment to revolutionize the industry and support small businesses at every stage of their growth.

With over two decades of experience, Bluest understands the complexities of entrepreneurship. We leverage our extensive network of government, commercial, and academic partners to provide holistic solutions tailored to your unique needs. Our team of consultants and strategic partners brings a wealth of expertise across the small business ecosystem, ensuring that you have the support you need to succeed.

Together, we're not just breaking barriers – we're reshaping the very fabric of entrepreneurship, one entrepreneur, one institution at a time. Join us on this transformative journey and let's build a brighter future together.
