The Redbrick Advantage

We've got what it takes

We all know it takes more than an idea to build a successful company. It takes leadership, a mix of resources (and resourcefulness), investment capital and, most importantly, people. We have all four in spades, which means a serious competitive advantage in acquiring, scaling and supporting companies.

Expertise

Between our leadership and pool of creative and technical talent, we bring the necessary experience and expertise to the table to inform every decision we make.

Resources

From a state-of-the-art space to in-house HR and finance professionals, we have the resources at our fingertips to operate our companies efficiently and effectively.

Capital

Of course, you can’t start up businesses without investment capital. Our ventures are debt-backed and operationally superpowered for hyper-profitability.

Creative

From branding to user experience design and prototyping, we’ve got the creatives in-house to take our companies from ideation to launch, iteration and scale.
