Martin Flusberg

I am a serial technology entrepreneur with a track record of raising capital and building successful businesses from scratch, as well as creating and commercializing unique new technologies. This has led to multiple successful exits. Much of my background has related to sustainability and energy efficiency, but as noted below I have worked with a number of industries and areas.

I am now focused on leveraging my background to help other companies - both for profit and non-profit - through Board memberships, consulting, and mentoring.
