Founder and CEO of this Beloit, Wisconsin based company, Dustin Herte would not confirm or deny industry insider rumors. However, in a recent interview he acknowledged that “24 to 36 months is totally reasonable for (Blue Line) being a unicorn.”
That’s a remarkable timeline for a company founded in 2015. Just this month, March 2022, they achieved a $3.1 million seed funding round goal.
