Kelsey Kennedy
About

I've been in your chair.

Kelsey Kennedy — Founder, UpRight Ventures

I'm Kelsey — a marketing and sales executive, and general manager who's spent the last 10+ years advising, operating, and sitting on the boards of small and fast-growing businesses.

I built Small Bites because I kept meeting smart, ambitious business owners who needed real growth help but couldn't justify a $10K consulting engagement. They didn't need a fractional CMO or an expensive agency on retainer. As smart, hard-working business owners, they had all of the commercial instincts to know what they wanted to accomplish, they had just never tackled that particular problem before. They needed an experienced operator to point them in the right direction and help them shortcut the path forward. They needed an unbiased thought-partner to sit down with them for an hour, or build them a marketing plan they could actually use, or tell them whether their pricing made sense.

That's why I created Small Bites. Real deliverables, fair prices, from someone who's actually done the work and owned the results.

  • Founder, UpRight Ventures — strategic consulting for growing businesses
  • 10+ years advising and operating in the lower middle market
  • I specialize in "what to sell" and "how to sell it" — from brand design to email marketing, I can help with every part of the marketing & sales funnel
What Clients Say

Small Bites. Big impact.

Real feedback from real business owners.

"We'd been talking about launching a new product category for months but couldn't get alignment on whether it made sense. Kelsey walked us through the market opportunity, built the business case, and gave us the confidence to pull the trigger. It's now one of our fastest-growing lines."

Former Client
CEO, Consumer Goods Company

"We knew we needed an agency but had no idea how to find the right one or what to ask for. Kelsey helped us write the brief, vet candidates, and pick a partner that actually understood our business. Saved us from a very expensive mistake."

Former Client
Head of Marketing, Consumer Brand

"What I appreciated most was that Kelsey didn't just tell us what to do — she showed us how she'd done it before. Having someone who's actually operated a business sit across the table from you is a completely different experience than hiring a consultant."
