A software start-up
Founded in 2011, we make our debut with a proprietary marketing platform for software publishing companies.
Our Company
We’re known as innovators and investors, conceiving of and acquiring products we superscale into disruptive digital companies. Every day, our products are grabbing the attention of engaged audiences around the world, reinventing business across industries, countries and continents.
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.
