Lenexa Is Growing Fast. Most of Its Businesses Aren't Built to Last Without Their Owners.
Lenexa has grown into one of Johnson County's most active business communities, with a strong concentration of technology, professional services, and B2B operations. These are recurring-revenue businesses with real growth potential. But recurring revenue in the P&L and transferable value in the business are two different things. Most founders haven't built the systems, team, or documentation that makes that revenue transferable to a buyer or successor.
Who We Work With in Lenexa
We work with Lenexa founders running technology, SaaS, and professional service businesses generating $250K to $20M. Many have strong recurring revenue — the foundation of a valuable business. What they're often missing is the structure that makes that revenue transferable when the founder steps back.
- SaaS and technology companies
- Managed service providers
- Marketing and agency businesses
- Professional and B2B services
- Healthcare technology and services
30 Years in Kansas City. I Know This Market.
Kansas City is the biggest small town there is. Everybody knows everybody — in Lenexa, in Shawnee, in Overland Park. I've been in this business community for 30 years. The tech and service founders I meet in Lenexa have usually figured out the revenue side. What they haven't always figured out is how to make that revenue exist without them personally delivering it. That's the work.

Why This Work Matters to Me
My mom ran a skateboard shop called Square One in Topeka. She poured years of her life into it. When it closed, there was nothing to show for it — no equity, no exit, no return on what she built. That's not a business. That's a job with a sign on the door.
That's what happens to most founders. Not because they didn't work hard. Because nobody helped them build something transferable. I started Diffactory to change that.
