Fountain City Partners was founded by Ben Schultz and Jared Schnefke — operators with decades of experience building structure and systems inside growing businesses.
Before FCP, the team worked together at a fast-growing company Ben founded. As the business scaled, they built the finance and operating infrastructure that took it from an early-stage environment to a structured, high-performing organization. That business was acquired by a publicly traded company in 2021.
They bring experience from both top-tier consulting and real operating roles — and know the difference between designing a system and actually running one. That's the experience they bring directly to every engagement.
Fountain City Partners was founded in Kansas City, the "City of Fountains," a place we're proud to call home both personally and professionally.
