The KMVA Story: Scaling a Virtual Assistant Business to 6 Figures

In this episode of Founders Future, with host Zach Young, we are joined by Kaelyn Marie, the founder of KMVA Virtual Assistant Agency. Kaelyn shares her decade-long journey to entrepreneurship, which included roles in network marketing, real estate, and a personal assistant position at a nonprofit ministry. After being unexpectedly laid off from what she thought was her dream job, she used her 30-day notice period to pivot, discovering the world of virtual assistance. She launched her own VA business and scaled it to six figures in under a year before transitioning into an agency model to serve a broader client base.Kaelyn details how KMVA operates as a boutique agency with a team of six U.S.-based virtual assistants who serve multi-six-figure female entrepreneurs and content creators. She emphasizes that her agency differentiates itself by offering a strategic partnership, where her team takes initiative and provides business feedback, rather than just completing tasks. Kaelyn also discusses her hands-on role in sales and marketing, her approach to slowly and intentionally scaling her team, and her ambitious goals to hit seven figures by expanding her team's specialized services and leveraging paid advertising for the first time
