Founder story
Founded in 2013 by Brynn Gibbs in San Diego. Brynn recognized early on that small businesses were being unfairly targeted by fraudulent reviews and had no recourse. She built Consumer Fusion to give local entrepreneurs the tools to defend their digital reputation and compete fairly in the age of the 'star rating economy.'
