Brander Group is a privately held American brokerage firm specializing in the resale of IP Addresses, and information technology consultancy located in the Southwest United States, with offices in Las Vegas, Nevada, Scottsdale, Arizona, and Los Angeles, California.

As one of just a handful of officially qualified brokers to resell IP addresses in the North American American Registry of Internet Numbers (ARIN) region for ARIN itself, [4], and for government agencies like the US Department of Agriculture,[5] Brander Group has facilitated the resale of millions of IPv4 addresses since its founding in 2016.

Initially focused on the resale market for exhausted IPv4 addresses, it has expanded over the years into a broader IT and network consulting firm.[6]

Brander Group works primarily with large institutions like internet service providers, universities, and telecommunications companies, many of whom have large blocks of finite legacy IPv4 addresses that were granted decades ago in the early days of the internet, and are often unused as institutions have migrated over to the newer standard of IPv6 addresses. [7] Given the finite nature, relative simplicity, and widespread use of IPv4 addresses, they are increasingly valuable, despite the newer standard of IPv6 being officially adopted in 2012. [8]


History

Brander Group was founded in 2016 in Las Vegas, Nevada, to address the problem of IPv4 address exhaustion.

Founder Jake Brander had been working in IP sales, and saw a broader opportunity to find and repurpose IPv4 addresses[9]. Often they had been issued to large institutions in bulk and were never used.[10]

In 2016, its first year in business, Brander Group generated $15 million in revenue, which had grown to $200 million in 2023.[11] In 2022, it made a sale of 1.7 million IPv4 addresses, one of the largest IP transfers of that year.[12]

IPv4 addresses were created in 1983 by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA), with a finite 32-bit number of addresses. With the growth of the internet and mobile devices, the initial 4.2 billion IPv4 addresses were exhausted in 2019.[13]

Despite the introduction of much more abundant IPv6 addresses, IPv4 remains popular, and its scarcity has increased its value considerably.[14] A secondary market for unused or previously used IPv4 addresses has emerged with large companies like Amazon buying 8 million IP addresses from MIT in 2017.[15] Often these require a complicated process to remove from IP blacklists, and to negotiate readdressing with regional internet registries.

Brander Group is a wholesale reseller of international internet service providers, and works with large corporations as an IT consultant.

In 2021, the company relocated its headquarters to Scottsdale, Arizona, and maintains offices in Las Vegas and Los Angeles, U.S.

In 2023, Brander Group was ranked #75 in Fortune magazine’s list of America’s 300 most innovative companies.[16][17]
