For years, I ran my business without anyone dedicated to partnerships and business development. Working with Kinship created the increased, steady, and predictable revenue stream we didn’t know how to get.
We have gone from flailing, to confident founders. We have matured as an organization, tripled in size, and weathered some pretty big storms.
Kinship helped us create a reliable and achievable growth strategy and expanded our understanding of what we could uniquely offer our clients.
