the problem
Your Team is Drowning in Work That Shouldn't Exist
You're doing $2M+ in ARR with a lean team of under 10 people. You've got serious traction. Revenue is climbing. But growth feels like controlled chaos:
- Sales reps waste 15 hours/week on CRM data entry instead of closing deals
- Your inbox has 247 unread emails and your calendar is a war zone
- Customer calls go unanswered after 5pm—leaving revenue on the table
- You're hiring admins to keep up with busywork, not revenue generators
Here's the brutal truth: Your competitors are automating this work. You're still hiring for it.
We've sat in your seat. Built companies. Scaled them. Exited them.
And we know the shortcut.
HOW we work
We Don't Sell You Everything at Once. We Prove It First.
Many consultancies overwhelm you with 50-page proposals and six-figure commitments. We take a measured approach that builds trust through wins.
Step 1: Discovery Call (Free)
Meet with two K&M directors. We'll assess fit, understand your bottlenecks, and determine if AI can move the needle for your business. No sales pitch. Just straight talk between operators.
Step 2: AI Diagnostic & Strategy Assessment
We audit your operations across sales, marketing, admin, and operations. You'll get a custom "buffet list" of AI opportunities ranked by ROI and speed to value.
Typical outcome: 100-400+ hours per month identified for automation across your team.
Step 3: Start with Your Biggest Win
We implement your highest-ROI opportunity first. One solution. Measurable results. Typically 2-8 hours saved per week per employee in the impact zone.
No massive transformation promises. Just one undeniable win.
Step 4: Scale What Works
Once you see results, we expand. More implementations from your buffet list. Bigger impact. With ongoing Executive Compass sessions keeping strategy and execution aligned.
The difference? You're not betting the farm on a consultant's promises. You're building momentum through proven wins.
who we are
Built by Operators. For Operators.
Running and growing a company is difficult and isolating. Risk, cost, and time—if not navigated wisely—can mean the difference between success and bankruptcy.
K&M Partners was co-founded by Kamal Panesar and Marc Appleby—two entrepreneurs with over 50 years of collective startup experience.
Between them: a successful tech startup exit in Montreal, raising millions in venture capital, building and scaling a business to a historic Dragons' Den deal, pioneering optical tracking technology for the NHL, and years as a Senior Innovation Advisor helping Canadian CEOs navigate federal and provincial funding programs.
Joined by Sandeep Panesar, a recognized AI thought leader featured on SiriusXM and industry panels, K&M delivers both strategic guidance and technical execution that actually ships.
We're not career consultants. We've pitched investors. Built breakthrough technology. Scaled operations. Exited companies. Made mistakes. Learned the hard way.
They've been in your seat. They know what works.
Our specialty? Working with $2M+ SMEs with less than 10 employees who are:
- Ambitious but time-strapped
- Ready to scale without scaling headcount
- Willing to adopt AI before their competitors do
We're selective, but open to working with clients outside these parameters if there's strong strategic fit.
