GROW SMART: Creative Strategies to Fuel Exponential Business Growth

Growth can occur organically, or by chance. Exponential growth is engineered.

In the current market, the gap between a surviving business and a market leader is defined by capital efficiency and strategic boldness. Join Kenny Crandlemire, CFA, and an elite panel of experts for a deep dive into the creative levers that drive massive growth and enterprise value.

Stop growing by accident. Start Growing Smart.

The GROW SMART Roadmap:

  • The Build vs. Buy Equation: When should you decide not to build, but to acquire instead? We’ll discuss how to leverage M&A to leapfrog competitors and dominate your niche.

  • The Power of Focus: In an era where opportunities seem endless, we explore why success is often defined by doing fewer things better.

  • Going Global: Identifying the specific indicators that signal your business is ready for international expansion—and how to avoid the common pitfalls of scaling across borders.

  • The "Clean House" Advantage: Growth requires capital, and capital requires transparency. Learn why professional, audit-ready financials are not a "later" task, but a prerequisite for fueling exponential growth.

Meet the Panelists:

  • Susan Richards: Co-Founder of numbercrunch & serial entrepreneur. Susan is a master of financial scaling and building the infrastructure needed for high-growth ventures.

  • Mitch Robinson: Managing Partner at Sampford Advisors. Mitch brings a world-class perspective of growth in multiple industries throughout his storied career.

  • Fahim Sheikh: Founder & CEO of Trellis. Fahim brings the "founder in the trenches" perspective of building a tech business from startup to global scale.

  • Moderated by Kenny Crandlemire, CFA, Investment Advisor, Associate Portfolio Manager, and unapologetic founder advocate, The Mestern Group, CIBC Wood Gundy Ottawa.
