About

Koryn Barrett.
Founder of Kollabo.

I started Kollabo in 2025 out of a simple frustration: every other marketing agency I tried was either overpromising and underdelivering, or treating small businesses like a tier-three afterthought. We started Kollabo to be the opposite — a small team that does the work properly, charges what makes sense, and treats every client's growth like our own.

I've been doing marketing since 2015, and I've spent most of that time insidethe businesses we now build for — salons, spas, and fitness studios. That's where I learned the operations side cold: how booking systems actually work, what makes a membership flow break, why staff need a different app to the one customers see, and what every studio owner secretly hates about Mindbody. Kollabo OS is the platform we wished existed back then — and now we build it for the next wave of operators coming up behind us.

On the agency side, we kept seeing the same problems over and over. Mindbody charging 3% on every payment. Mailchimp + Later + SurferSEO + Unbounce + Zapier adding up to $800/month for a stack the owner couldn't actually use. Agencies billing $4,000 retainers for two posts a week and a quarterly strategy slide. So we built the antidote, all under one roof.

Kollabo is the company we wished existed when we were on the other side of the desk. One team that does the work properly. One AI platform that replaces the SaaS tax. One studio operations system that doesn't take 3% of every booking. All of it under one brand, all of it built around what small business owners actually need — because most of us have been one.
