About Us
Idlebrook Group was born out of a need for impactful partnership in the start-up/scale-up space. Tech executives bring bold ideas, ambitious goals, and often tight funds to make things happen. With our background, we unashamedly drive towards customer capital and customer advocacy first, then non-dilutive funding where appropriate, and when the market need and solution is aligned and scalable, we guide in marketing and advocacy for investment.
Note: Idlebrook Group is not licensed as a broker-dealer or investment advisor. We are a technology commercialization consultancy.
