How Was IdeaTango Created?  The story of our founders...

• Lisa Lloyd started inventing in 1993.  Her first product, the "French Twister" sold over $20 million and helped Lisa launch six more successfully licensed products.  She decided to create a website, which later became IdeaTango, to help inventors learn from her experiences and become more successful.  She remains a shareholder and Advisor to IdeaTango.
• Bryan Daigle, also an inventor, was disappointed with all the invention companies that rarely had the inventor's best interest in mind and joined Lisa to create this website to help inventors find reputable resources and bring new products to market. Bryan serves as President of IdeaTango.
  
• Pablo Bley, published author and technology guru, saw IdeaTango.com as a unique opportunity to pursue his passion for catalyzing innovation by using his technology background.  Pablo serves as the VP of Technology.
• Chuck Behn, with over 15 years of Business Development for technology companies Lucent and Texas Instruments, brings insight, as well as vision to the team. Chuck leads marketing and sales as VP of Business Development.
• Our Board of Advisors include inventors, successful technology entrepreneurs, and other industry veterans.
  
• And everyone else who helped us along the way - Family, Spouses & Significant Others, Friends, Advisors, Investors (Thank you!), Believers, and You.
