Business Growth & Exit Advisor

Ken Wisnefski

Ken Wisnefski is a founder and Business Growth & Exit Advisor who works directly with owners to grow stronger businesses and prepare for a future sale. Over 25+ years he has started and successfully exited five businesses. He brings the decisions, mistakes, and lessons of an operator to every plan—tailored to the business, not pulled from a playbook.

Ken grew WebiMax from a startup to more than $20 million in annual recurring revenue; in its first three years, it went from zero revenue to No. 37 on the Inc. 500. He also built VendorSeek, a B2B marketplace sold for more than $15 million. His advisory work connects offer and sales decisions with profit, delivery, and the financial and operational preparedness needed for a future sale.
