Kirby Ventures

Hi, I'm Kevin Barry

I've been building businesses for over 20 years—I started my first one at 14. This journey shaped me into a proven innovator and operational leader. As Founder and COO of FilterEasy, I built, scaled, and navigated the company to a nine-figure exit—before I turned 30. I offer hands-on operational expertise and a deep belief in high-capability, simple solutions for real-world operating problems. Rooted in high-growth venture challenges and triumphs, I consistently hold myself and my teams to high performance standards. Now, I leverage this firsthand knowledge to empower your team to achieve transformative growth and outstanding results.

Kirby Ventures

After years of building businesses from the ground up and navigating a nine-figure exit with FilterEasy, I realized my passion extends beyond just *starting* companies—it's about *growing* them sustainably. That's why I founded Kirby Ventures. It's my holding company, a dedicated vehicle for acquiring, operating, and growing a portfolio of high-potential home service businesses. I'm leveraging everything I've learned about scaling operations and maximizing enterprise value to identify businesses with strong foundations and help them achieve their next level of success. My current portfolio proudly includes:

  • Steampro
  • Nature First Landscaping
  • Showtime Movers
  • Butter Property Management (currently in incubation)

Through hands-on operational expertise and strategic guidance, my goal with Kirby Ventures is to foster sustainable growth, enhance efficiency, and prepare these businesses for long-term prosperity. It's about building a legacy of successful, well-run companies that truly serve their communities.

Barrys Corp: My Vision for Blue-Collar Operational Excellence

I founded Barrys Corp because I recognized a critical need: a dedicated place to incubate and innovate robust operational systems specifically for the blue-collar sector. For too long, this segment has lacked a definitive standard for excellence, something akin to how Six Sigma defines manufacturing. My vision is for Barrys Corp to be that home, pioneering the practical tools and frameworks that truly elevate performance.

Every system and process we develop at Barrys Corp isn't just theoretical; it undergoes rigorous, real-world pressure testing within the Kirby Ventures' portfolio companies. This hands-on approach ensures our solutions are not only proven effective but also scalable and ready to drive significant, tangible improvements for businesses like yours. It's about building a legacy of truly excellent, efficiently run companies.
