The Story
They say the best stories start with a big fish…
But this one starts with a broken rod, a busted motor, and a boat full of dreams.
Hi, I’m Kelly Hipskind — founder of Redemptive Advisors, lifelong fisherman, and proud advisor to business owners of small to mid size businesses looking to sell, buy, or grow. The ones who are bold enough to take the rod and reel next.
I’ve spent years navigating murky waters — not just lakes and oceans, but creating and running start ups, investing in early stage ventures, owning and operating real estate, managing boardrooms, balance sheets, and burnout. I’ve built businesses. I’ve successfully exited some. I’ve sat across the table with sellers afraid to let go, and buyers unsure if they could reel it in.
Whether you’re ready to cast, curious about the waters, or just sitting on the dock wondering what’s next — we’d like to explore being your guide.
At Redemptive Advisors, we believe everyone has a story. Let’s make sure yours ends with a fish in the boat — and a grin on your face.

The Testimonies
As a business broker myself, I know the difference between flashy talkers and true business advisors. Kelly is the real deal with real world experiences.
When it came time to sell a car wash-- one I purchased, fixed up and operated, I trusted Kelly to lead the process — and he delivers with clarity, grit, and a game plan. I would partner with Kelly again!
