Kirby Ventures

We're the Next Chapter for Great Home Service Companies

Kirby Ventures starts, acquires, and grows trusted brands in residential services—ensuring a strong future for the businesses that keep homes running.

Building Trust in Your Backyard

After spending a decade building a venture-backed company from $0 to nine-figure revenue, I started Kirby Ventures with a simpler goal: to build the kind of home service businesses my wife and I could trust in our own neighborhood.

Today, we're the parent company of a growing portfolio of residential service brands that take pride in their work, treat customers like neighbors, and show up exactly as promised.

Meet Kevin Barry

Founder & CEO

Kevin is a serial entrepreneur with twenty years of experience building and scaling businesses. He co-founded a venture-backed company that grew from zero to nine-figure revenue before exiting to private equity in 2022.

Through Kirby Ventures, Kevin brings that same focus and grit to residential home services—creating trustworthy, high-quality brands that communities can rely on. He has personally overseen the acquisition and integration of seven businesses into his portfolio and has provided strategic consulting to numerous entrepreneurs and business owners navigating their own exits.

When he’s not building businesses, Kevin enjoys spending time with his wife and daughter—skiing in the mountains or relaxing on the water in Wilmington, NC.
