Kieran O’Brien (Founder, MediaKits & ShopGenie) talks about his journey in the auto repair industry, successful approaches to fundraising, and invaluable lessons learned from his experiences in selling his companies.
He started his first company at 16 and has since sold MediaKits, a consumer SaaS platform for influencers and personalities. Now, he has found a new venture and launched a platform named ShopGenie.io, a brand new platform focused on data analytics for the automotive industry. Kieran's vision is to build a massive long-term business and create a platform that changes the face of the industry.
Kieran is passionate about cars and marketing and has always tried to combine these two passions in his businesses. At one point, he was the top competitor with 4Media’s Auto Marketing Team in the space. Since then, he has become great friends with Eddie and the rest of the 4Media team.
