Brooke Martin

Brooke Martin – Inventor & Founder of iCPooch –

Brooke Martin is a highly motivated 16 year-old from Spokane Washington. Her journey as a young entrepreneur was launched at Startup Weekend Spokane in the Fall of 2012.  She was 12 years old at the time and pitched an innovative way for dog owners to be able to video chat with their pet and deliver a treat from anywhere. After two years of development, iCPooch went into production in July of 2014. Most recently, she has been working to expand this technology to applications in the telemedicine industry with a new product called iCLovedOnes.

Brooke’s passion for entrepreneurship continues and has led her to new opportunities and adventures. Recently she launched her own personal brand with www.icbrooke.com. She’s been fortunate the past 3-1/2 years to give numerous presentations and to be a guest writer for a variety of publications, and www.icbrooke.com is a perfect forum her to share past and upcoming presentations and updates. Brooke has also set the goal to write and publish a book for teens about entrepreneurship, with a working title of “Mind Your Own Business”.

Brooke and iCPooch have been featured on ABC’s Shark Tank, NBC Nightly News, CBS News, Fox Business, NPR, The New York Times, The Meredith Vieira Show, and numerous other media outlets.
