Built on Trust. Driven by Integrity. Backed by Experience and Strategy.

Lenka Brady is a business builder, coach, and investor who believes growth doesn’t happen by accident. It’s built through clarity, strategy, and community.

After personally investing in the successful launch of a brick-and-mortar business, Lenka experienced firsthand what no one teaches you – from signing leases and navigating partnerships to applying Lean Startup methodology in the real world. That experience shaped her belief that business success isn’t about luck; it’s about data, discipline, and the courage to pivot when things stop working.

Through Start a Business LLC, Lenka helps entrepreneurs turn obstacles into strategy. Her company specializes in empowering female founders who have been operating for at least a year but find themselves stuck, overwhelmed, or spinning their wheels.

As a contestant on The Blox, the world’s largest live-in entrepreneurial reality TV competition, Lenka learned firsthand the scientific approach to business building – one rooted in facts, testing, and removing ego and guesswork from the process. That experience refined her mastery of the “build, measure, learn” framework, which now forms the foundation of her coaching and consulting.

Using this proven methodology, she helps founders identify what’s broken, test solutions quickly, and create the business models that are replicable, sustainable and scalable.

In 2024 and 2025, Lenka was recognized as a two-time “Best of South Lake” award winner in Startup Strategies, celebrating her impact on Lake County’s entrepreneurial community. She’s since launched several initiatives — including a youth entrepreneurship summer program, the women-focused brand The FoundHER, and Transform30, a signature program designed for women at a pivotal moment in their entrepreneurial journey: deciding whether to give up or grow stronger.

“I’ve fallen one too many times and I love it,” Lenka often says. “That’s how I learn, grow, and build resilience.”

Her approach combines experience with empathy. As a certified NLP practitioner, Lenka brings powerful insight into the mindset and decision-making of entrepreneurs, helping clients break through the mental barriers that hold them back.

Beyond business, Lenka continues to pour into her community. She serves as a mentor with Take Stock in Children, supporting youth development and leadership programs, collaborates with DECA, and works alongside Lake-Sumter State College’s Micro Internship Program. Her youth entrepreneurship programs and partnerships with local schools have inspired a new generation of young founders to think big and start smart. 

This year, Lenka joined the 1 Million Cups Clermont organizing team, a national program powered by the Kauffman Foundation that connects and educates entrepreneurs through weekly peer-to-peer discussions. As part of this initiative, she helps spotlight local founders, facilitate collaboration, and strengthen Lake County’s growing startup ecosystem.

Lenka also brings that same passion for community and education to the stage — sharing her expertise at career nights, women’s leadership events, local workshops, and professional development sessions. Her talks are known for blending real-world strategy with authenticity, focusing on what it actually takes to build a business rooted in values, data, and resilience.

At Start a Business LLC, Lenka’s mission is simple:
To turn entrepreneurial struggles into scalable success stories.
Because building a business isn’t a solo journey, it takes a village of mentors, partners, and community partners who believe in growth through integrity, strategy, and connection.
