Company & ventures
A UK partner built around your mission.

- Sovereign UK delivery
- UK trading since May 2025
You need a partner who can hold, exploit and share your most sensitive data on a sovereign footing. Bluestaq Limited is that partner: the UK subsidiary of Bluestaq, LLC, delivering secure, resilient data infrastructure for defence, space and intelligence in the UK and across allied nations.
Pinch to zoom, drag to pan.
The collect, move, build pattern applied outside defence. Both ventures were built by Bluestaq; both leave the data with its owner.
IN PRACTICE
What this means
for your team.
AcreIQ.
AcreIQ is Bluestaq's agriculture data platform: grower-owned data and plain-English Field Intelligence, built on the same conviction that the data stays with its owner.
Max Capacity.
Bluestaq built Max Capacity, a ticketing and live-events platform, applying the same collect, move, build pattern outside defence.
WHO WE ARE
UK delivery, drawing on proven capability.
Bluestaq, LLC was founded in 2018 in Colorado Springs, where its first prototype supported the Space Domain Awareness mission. From that beginning, it has grown into a trusted builder of enterprise data platforms that securely ingest, store, manage, discover and share data.
Space Force partnered with Bluestaq to build the Unified Data Library, an ongoing U.S. Government programme. BLUESTAQ /ARQ™ is the commercially available version of the Unified Data Library platform, available for every organisation.
Bluestaq Limited brings that capability to the United Kingdom on a sovereign footing. We work alongside the wider Bluestaq team while delivering for UK customers under UK control, with UK data residency options where the mission requires them. Our purpose is simple: mission-critical capability through exceptional people, secure data and resilient technology.
