Kevin Marra

Hello, I'm Kevin.

I help founders of software consulting firms turn their firms into durable businesses, not jobs they happen to own.

With a management consulting background and a no-BS approach, I guide firm owners through the stuff that actually moves the needle: designing your service offerings so they aren’t dependent on you to sell, eliminating operational chaos, and setting you up for the kind of exit that gets you out and gets you paid.

With these outcomes in mind I built Nemawashi Circle, a hybrid of hands-on advisory services and support from other software consulting founders who are working through the same issues.

Real Help, Real Results, Real Peers

Nemawashi Circle is a mastermind group for founders of software consulting firms who want to scale, systemize, and make their business sellable—even if they never plan to sell. It combines strategic advisory, peer collaboration, and hands-on support to help founders escape day-to-day chaos and build a business that runs without them.

No fluff, no gurus—just real conversations, real accountability, and real results.
