Bluebox (Bluebox Security) was an enterprise mobile and application security startup founded around 2012 that let organizations secure corporate data on employee-owned smartphones and tablets without managing the whole device. It raised roughly $27.5M, with Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) leading its Series A and returning for the Series B alongside Tenaya Capital, Andreas Bechtolsheim, and SV Angel. Its technology assets were acquired by Lookout on April 8, 2016, after which Bluebox ceased operating as an independent company. It was a packaged security product vendor, not a public API provider, and it maintains no live developer portal, documentation, or API surface today.
