Bio
Hello, my name is Ken Gobble. I am the CEO and Founder of RuhPor, an Online Community that is the next generation of B2B Sales Lead Generation. I am also a co-Founder and Senior Consultant for Revnue.Co, a Fractional Sales Consulting company that also offers CFO, CTO, CMO and AIO services.
I have personally started 4 companies, previous to RuhPor, each generating revenue but never achieved the next level. They were amazing learning experiences in my career. I have also worked in several StartUps, from 0 revenue pre seed Saas EmLogis, to $500M multiple series VC backed Cockroach Labs. I was also the first US Enterprise Sales rep hired by Veeam software to take their SMB $440M revenue company in 2016, to over $1B in sales when I left in 2022. This was an incredible learning time for me, as Veeam was self funded by its founders and grown to $1B in revenue without VC.
I love talking about everything Sales related, especially how I feel the sales process is broken and needs to be changed.
If I can tell my fellow Founders 1 thing, do not rush into hiring a sales team. The founders and early hires are the best sellers in a company, so don't give away equity just because everyone has done it. I am happy to coach you to the best of my ability.

Elevator Pitch
RuhPor is a dating app for buyers and sellers that eliminates cold calling. Sellers will find customers who want to be found. Search results are limited to those that meet all criteria, while customers remain anonymous until they choose to share. Vendors are vetted before they are able to communicate, returning the sales process back to the customer.
