As a pioneering incubator and accelerator, we foster growth through evergreen investments, launching new brands and strengthening existing ones. Leveraging cutting-edge AI and other advanced technologies, we help our companies and entrepreneurs to redefine what’s possible in their respective fields. ### Our Core Purpose # Fueling Innovation To Maximize Social Sector Impact Often overlooked by mainstream tech and business, we believe the social sector has the potential of profound, transformational change. At Blue Cypress, we believe when we collaborate with and uplift non-profits, it has a multiplier effect on the world. Social sector enterprises are pillars of knowledge and information the world can benefit from. In an age where content is literally coming from all directions and can often be inaccurate or unvetted, we help amplify non-profits' vetted knowledge, expertise and impact. Our focus isn't just about disruption and innovation; it's about understanding the unique challenges and opportunities present for this sector. ## Our Core Values ![Learning](https://bluecypress.io/hs-fs/hubfs/2green.png?width=100&height=100&name=2green.png) #### Learning **Always be curious.** We foster a culture of intellectual curiosity, believing it to be the cornerstone of learning and development. ![Evolution](https://bluecypress.io/hs-fs/hubfs/3green.png?width=100&height=100&name=3green.png) #### Evolution **Embrace change.** We welcome change, knowing that it is the catalyst for evolution and improvement. ![Accountability](https://bluecypress.io/hs-fs/hubfs/4green.png?width=100&height=100&name=4green.png) #### Accountability **Own it.** We take accountability for our actions, decisions, and outcomes, driving us towards excellence. ![Progress](https://bluecypress.io/hs-fs/hubfs/1green.png?width=100&height=100&name=1green.png) #### Progress **Progress over perfection.** We encourage continuous growth, understanding that progress, not perfection, drives innovation. ## **Our Approach: The Blue Cypress Flywheel** **![Blue Cypress Flywheel\_Updated 1](https://bluecypress.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Blue%20Cypress%20Flywheel_Updated%201.png?width=500&height=500&name=Blue%20Cypress%20Flywheel_Updated%201.png)**   Our innovation flywheel drives everything we do. We start by seeking and destroying unsolvable association problems through BC Labs and market intelligence. These innovations attract early adopters from our association community, which helps us recruit the brightest minds in AI and association technology. We educate association leaders everywhere through Sidecar's AAiP certification and the digitalNow conference, expanding our relationships and reach. Finally, we reinvest profits in R&D and product development, launching 3-4 new solutions per year. Each stage feeds the next, creating momentum that benefits everyone in the ecosystem. The cycle accelerates—all designed to achieve our bold goal: Make associations as powerful as Fortune 500 companies by 2030. ## Our Leadership Team ![Amith Headshot](https://bluecypress.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Amith%20Headshot.png?width=200&height=200&name=Amith%20Headshot.png) Amith Nagarajan Chairman [LinkedIn icon](https://www.linkedin.com/in/amithnagarajan/) ![Johanna Snider - BW Headshot 2026 (1)](https://bluecypress.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Johanna%20Snider%20-%20BW%20Headshot%202026%20(1).png?width=200&height=200&name=Johanna%20Snider%20-%20BW%20Headshot%202026%20(1).png) Johanna Snider Chief Executive Officer [LinkedIn icon](https://www.linkedin.com/in/johannakasper/) ![john\_huisman](https://bluecypress.io/hs-fs/hubfs/john_huisman.png?width=200&height=200&name=john_huisman.png) John Huisman Chief Operating Officer [LinkedIn icon](https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnehuisman/) ![jeremy\_h\_headshot](https://bluecypress.io/hs-fs/hubfs/jeremy_h_headshot.png?width=200&height=200&name=jeremy_h_headshot.png) Jeremy Hunnewell Chief Financial Officer [LinkedIn icon](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeremyhunnewell/) ![Robert Kihm](https://bluecypress.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Robert%20Kihm.png?width=200&height=200&name=Robert%20Kihm.png) Robert Kihm Chief Technology Officer [LinkedIn icon](https://www.linkedin.com/in/rkihm/) ![Aaron Headshot (1)](https://bluecypress.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Aaron%20Headshot%20(1).png?width=200&height=200&name=Aaron%20Headshot%20(1).png) Aaron Wilkerson General Counsel ## Blue Cypress [![Blue Cypress](https://bluecypress.io/hs-fs/hubfs/blue-cypress-logo-white.png?width=289&height=75&name=blue-cypress-logo-white.png)](https://bluecypress.io/?hsLang=en) 6221 S.
