How Everything Started
Integrity in process: only talent we would hire ourselves.
Blueprint began as a moonlit project to build custom software for startups. As the business scaled, Neil built a team he personally trusted. Reputation mattered. He wanted to put his name on every line of code that left Blueprint, leading to a strict interview process where only the best were accepted. That bar is now upheld through CTO-led vetting, with a <5% pass rate.
