Our Story

Straight-Up Ideas™ was founded in 2009 by award-winning educational author, software developer, and serial entrepreneur, Nile Duppstadt II. He got the idea for the company when he discovered that the free advice he was casually giving away while speaking to other business owners was the primary reason they were offering him such great deals and discounts. Frustrated with the consulting industry himself as a small business owner, the company was founded with the goal of helping entrepreneurs quickly find new marketing ideas affordably.

He approached his most creative business partners, mentors, friends and family living all over the world with experience across a variety of industries, and created the Straight-Up Ideas Think Tank™, a virtual brainstorming environment, to provide fresh marketing ideas to small and medium sized businesses and marketers around the globe.
