KEVIN LENHART
I run the deals between brands and creators, ship software with AI as my co-pilot, and document the whole build in public. No CS degree, no funding round, no team on the agency — just reps.
Broker between brands and creators. Builder on the side.
I founded my influencer marketing agency in 2024, working as the matchmaker between brands and the creators who move their audience — commission-based, no direct signings, just getting both sides the right deal. Outside of that I'm a tech content creator, and lately I've been going deep on building my own software with an AI-assisted, "vibe coding" workflow instead of a formal CS background.
Boot history
Left school at 16. No safety net, no roadmap — just started figuring things out on my own terms.
Early freelance work across IT, video production, and digital marketing — self-taught, one client at a time.
First agency didn't make it. Shut it down, kept the lessons, went again.
Founded the current agency with very little runway — built it into a working brand-creator matchmaking business.
Scaled it past six figures in revenue — solo, no team, no co-founder.
Running the agency, creating tech content, and building software products with an AI-assisted dev stack.
Brands the agency has worked with
Matched with creators through the agency's broker model — no direct signings, just the right pairing.
