About Blue dot
Blue dot — founded in 2013 as VATBox — applies AI to a narrow, lucrative problem: the VAT hiding in employee travel-and-expense reports, accounts-payable transactions, and scanned invoices. Its models identify recoverable VAT/GST spend and flag taxable employee benefits with minimal manual review.
The company has raised $32M and embeds its engine into expense platforms like Yokoy and Rydoo, with teams across Israel, the UK, the Netherlands, France, and the US.
AI and data analytics read T&E data, AP transactions, and scanned receipts to automatically identify VAT/GST-recoverable spend and flag taxable employee benefits.
Highlights
- Founded 2013 as VATBox; rebranded Blue dot
- Embedded in expense-management platforms Yokoy and Rydoo
- Raised $32M; ~100 employees across five countries
