Connor Sweeney is the Founder & CEO of Slightly Unrefined Ventures (SUV). SUV was founded as a vehicle–no pun intended–for Sweeney to get back to his roots helping small businesses bootstrap ideas and turn them into successful enterprises where perfection is not the goal, but growth, profitability, and fun is. Sweeney’s creative, entrepreneurial nature fuels his passion for helping 6 and 7-figure companies get to the next level of success. By being resourceful, grinding, and implementing Profit First & GSD strategies, Sweeney aims to get you and your business off the hamster wheel and back to a place where things are fun again, and you can enjoy the perks of owning and operating your own business.
Even at the young age of 28, Sweeney has more than 10 years of business development, sales and marketing, mergers and acquisitions, systems & process, software development, automation, and operational management experience. Beginning as a Caddy & Pro Shop assistant at an exclusive country club and, most recently, ending as the COO of a $30MM startup (with many stops in between), there has never been a year where Connor slowed down–and he doesn’t intend to.
Sweeney lives in Holland, MI with his wife and 3 children, Carson, Jace, Brynn, and their Puggle, Rufus. He is an avid golfer and Slightly Unrefined business owner, himself, that loves the thrill of the chase.
