Entrepreneur of the Year is one of the most competitive and respected Entrepreneur awards in the world. It honors entrepreneurs who disrupt industries, drive innovation, and make a lasting impact on the global business landscape. For nearly four decades, the program has celebrated bold ideas and transformative leadership that reshape our world.

Now, Jake Brander has once again been recognized. His repeat nomination highlights his continued excellence in leadership, innovation, and growth. In 2024, under his leadership, Brander Group generated over $150 million in sales revenue. The company also expanded its global footprint, reaching more than 3,000 clients across 70 countries.

This year’s finalists were selected by an independent panel of judges. The panel included entrepreneurs, CEOs, investors, and other leading business figures from across the United States. Each candidate was evaluated on entrepreneurial spirit, purpose, growth, impact, and other key measures of success.

Importantly, the Entrepreneur of the Year program honors a wide range of leaders. It celebrates original founders who built companies from scratch, transformational CEOs who revitalized existing organizations, and multigenerational family business leaders who reimagined legacy models for the future.

Looking ahead, regional award winners will be announced in June during a special celebration event. Winners will join the exclusive Entrepreneur of the Year alumni network for life. They will also advance for consideration in the Entrepreneur of the Year National Awards, held at the Strategic Growth Forum in November — one of the nation’s most prestigious gatherings of high-growth, market-leading companies.

From Zero to 9-Figures in Only a Few Years



In a recent interview with LA Weekly, Jake Brander offered a glimpse into the remarkable ascent of his company, within the IT consulting sector. Renowned for its expertise in provider-neutral network strategy and its status as the world’s largest IPv4 address broker, Brander Group boasts an extensive network of service providers that spans every layer of an organization’s technology stack.

Yet, Brander Group’s journey to prominence was not always straightforward. Reflecting on its origins, Brander recounted, “We began by consulting for data centers, which was my initial area of expertise. Over time, Brander Group has broadened its scope to encompass all facets of network and infrastructure consulting, including the specialized realm of IPv4 address trading.”

We are always looking for new ways to spread our influence. It’s the only way to stay competitive in our industry as it always continues to evolve. Whether it’s the latest developments in cloud computing, IoT, or software-defined networking, it’ll somehow find its way into our service offerings.
– Jake Brander

A Client-Centric Approach to Problem-Solving

The cornerstone of Brander Group’s success lies in its unwavering commitment to addressing client needs with the highest priority. Unlike many consulting firms, Brander Group oversees and manages each client’s requirements from inception to completion, leaving no detail to chance.

“We remain impartial to any particular vendor or service provider,” Brander explained. “Our team provides objective recommendations tailored to the client’s best interests, not our own profitability.”

Despite its client-first philosophy, Brander Group has established enduring partnerships with over 600 global service providers. These alliances enable the company to offer competitive pricing, expedited market entry, and exceptional support across a broad spectrum of complex solutions.

The company’s expertise in IPv4 address procurement, global WAN connectivity, cloud deployments, cloud migration, and network security are among its most vital services.

“We take pride in being a premier one-stop shop for our clients’ IT needs,” Brander stated. “At our core, we are a team of specialists focused on optimizing operations, reducing costs, and efficiently guiding each client through their digital transformation journey.”

Path to Building a Thriving Tech Consulting Firm

When discussing the factors behind Brander Group’s rapid expansion, Brander emphasizes the importance of personal dedication and single-minded focus. “You must fully immerse yourself in your work,” he said. “I routinely put in 12 to 17-hour days. This level of commitment is essential if you wish to achieve what seems unattainable.”

Brander also highlights the value of identifying market gaps and creating systems to address them. “Seek out industries ripe for innovation; they offer unique opportunities to make a significant impact. For example, when we developed www.ipv4connect.com, we addressed a critical need in the IPv4 address trading market,” he advised.

Adapting to Change

Since its inception, Brander Group has experienced exceptional growth, serving over 2,500 global clients in 60 countries, including major enterprises and Fortune 500 companies. These organizations rely on Brander Group for strategic planning, future-proofing, and the efficient deployment of their technology infrastructure.

Beyond its core services, Brander Group’s contributions extend to empowering educational institutions to reinvest in their infrastructure, aiding internet service providers in developing networks in underserved rural areas, and engaging in philanthropic efforts.

Brander emphasized, “We are always looking for new ways to spread our influence. It’s the only way to stay competitive in our industry as it always continues to evolve. Whether it’s the latest developments in cloud computing, IoT, or software-defined networking, it’ll somehow find its way into our service offerings.”

Even amidst frequent consolidations in the IT and network sectors, Brander Group retains its leadership position. The company’s impressive financial performance, consistently generating nine-figure revenues annually, continues to inspire Jake Brander and his dedicated team.

The Journey of Jake Brander and his team in Solving the Global IPv4 Address Shortage


The exhaustion of IPv4 addresses has become a pressing concern. As demand for internet-connected devices surges the once-plentiful pool of IPv4 addresses has dwindled, thereby prompting the need for innovative solutions to bridge this gap. Enter Brander Group, a pioneering brokerage firm spearheaded by CEO Jake Brander, who not only recognized the urgency of the situation but immediately took action and seized the opportunity to address the problem head-on.

Back in 2016, Jake Brander, with his background in IT sales, presciently forecasted the lack of a reliable system and process to effectively overcome the impending shortage of IPv4 addresses. Armed with an entrepreneurial spirit, he embarked on a mission to develop a proprietary system to identify dormant IPv4 addresses and offer to clients in need—a solution that would prove to be invaluable in the years to come. With the launch of Brander Group, based in Scottsdale, Arizona, Jake Brander set out to revolutionize the way unused IPv4 addresses were brought to market.

Since its inception, Brander Group has emerged as a beacon of innovation in the highly niche market of IP address brokerages. Leveraging their proprietary system, Brander Group facilitates the sale and transfer of millions of IPv4 addresses to some of the largest companies in the world. From telecommunications giants to educational institutions, Brander Group reliably caters to a diverse clientele, helping them navigate the complexities of the IPv4 market with ease and efficiency.

In just a few short years, Brander Group has become synonymous with excellence in the field, earning a reputation for their unparalleled expertise and commitment to customer satisfaction. With a track record of success spanning close to a billion dollars in IPv4 address sales since 2016, Brander Group has solidified its position as a market leader and trusted partner in the digital landscape.

Moreover, beyond the numbers lies a deeper significance. By facilitating the sale of IPv4 addresses, Brander Group is not only addressing the immediate needs of their clients for IPv4 addresses, but also contributing to the greater good of the digital community. Whether through the enablement of broadband network expansion into rural communities that desperately need access to high quality internet access or via the funding of scholarships through the sale of unused IP addresses by educational institutions, Brander Group’s impact extends far beyond the realm of simply helping business generate much needed revenue.

As we stand on the brink of a new era with the advent of 5G technology, the role of IPv4 addresses remains as crucial as ever. With their finger on the pulse of the industry, Brander Group is poised to continue shaping the future of connectivity, one IPv4 address at a time. In a world where the digital divide looms large, Brander Group stands as a beacon of hope, bridging the gap and paving the way for a more connected tomorrow.
