Kennected Expands Indianapolis, Indiana, Operations Hub

05/04/2021
Kennected, a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) company that simplifies the lives of business owners and entrepreneurs through lead generation, automation and education, plans to expand operations in Indianapolis, Indiana. The company committed to creating up to 405 new jobs by the end of 2025.

Kennecte plans to invest more than $2 million in its operations to innovate the lead generation space with ‘K-Suite,' a new integrated suite of lead generation software. The company, which is headquartered at 201 S. Capitol Ave., is evaluating options for a second location south of downtown Indianapolis to accommodate its growing team. Kennected currently employs 107 associates nationally and internationally.

"We are passionate about our Indianapolis roots and the tech community that belongs to the city," said Cody Harvey, Kennected chief strategy officer. "We have looked up to the successful entrepreneurs and business leaders here for so many years. We have been inspired by the impact entrepreneurs bring to our communities. We want to step up and do our part bringing growth to the city."

The Indiana Economic Development Corporation offered Master Your Network, LLC (dba Kennected) up to $4.25 million in conditional tax credits based on the company’s job creation plans. These tax credits are performance-based, meaning the company is eligible to claim incentives once Hoosiers are hired. The city of Indianapolis supports the project in partnership with Develop Indy.

“With Indiana’s best in the Midwest ranking for entrepreneur friendliness, we're committed to providing the business-friendly environment and skilled workforce that companies like Kennected need to thrive," said Governor Eric J. Holcomb. "Indiana’s reputation as a tech hub continues to grow thanks to companies like Kennected choosing to invest and grow in Indiana.”

Kennected is releasing four world-class software products over the next six months. The K-suite is modeled after Google Workplace (formerly G-Suite), a fully integrated suite of team collaboration tools.

“Today’s announcement is yet another sign that Indianapolis remains one of the Midwest’s leading tech hubs,” said Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett. “We look forward to welcoming the hundreds of new Kennected employees to our thriving city over the coming years.”
