SMBUni - The AI Powered MBA for Entrepreneurs - Is Here
The $5 Trillion Silver Tsunami Is Here…
You don't have to go it alone any more...
Hey my name is Kriss Berg and I own several multi-million dollar businesses. I got my start as entrepreneur 22 years ago.
My passion now is helping young and new entrepreneurs build or buy the business of their dreams.
But I noticed that traditional business programs don't cover 90% of what you need to actually run an SMB (small or medium sized business).
And entrepreneurship can be hard AND lonely.
So let's fix that with....
The knowledge and network of an MBA program, with curriculum created specifically for small and medium-sized business (SMB) entrepreneurs and experts to help support you on your journey.
Now you can learn from the lessons of the School of Hard Knocks, without taking the hard knocks.
Learn the painful and valuable lessons from people that have been where you are - many times.
- Business Buying
- Business Selling
- Business Strategy
- Finance
- Hiring
- Leadership
- Legal
- Marketing
- Mindset
- Negotiation
- Personal Development
- Productivity
- Real Estate
- Sales
And we’re adding more subjects every month.
It’s all here.
Let's start with

YES - you CAN run multimillion dollar HVAC company on 10 hours a week and enjoy family time and hobbies, but you have to have systems in place and hire and keep the right manager!
YES - you CAN have the financial and time freedom you've always dreamed of without sacrificing your business's growth - but you need a proven plan!
PLUS: as with everything we do, we create an AI summary. So even if you don’t have 30 minutes to listen to an interview, you can consume it in 4-5 minutes.

My Vetted Vendors List
You'll have instant access to:
- Accountants
- Bookkeepers
- Attorneys
- Bankers
- Brokers
- And more
If you can't find what you need on this list, I'll reach out to my massive, 22-years-in-the-making network to find it for you.
Trust me, I won't leave you hanging...
Plus I’m doing Business LIVEBreakdowns & AMA's every month…
Then we’re taking it to the next level by summarizing the business classics
There are hundreds of business, entrepreneurship, and personal development books that have SOLID GOLD advice for you.
But here’s the rub: those books have about a pamphlet’s-worth of actionable information.
The publishers don’t make any money publishing pamphlets.
So the author’s draw out the lesson over 30 chapters with war stories, examples, and long-winded side-notes.
You don’t have time for that, I don’t have time for that, ain’t nobody got time for that.
Our powerful AI tool systematically breaks down all the business classics, generating a quickly digestible chapter-by-chapter summary..
You can blast through Buy Then Build, E-myth, or Traction in 5-10 minutes each.
This is just a sample of the books we’ve summarized so far:
CUSTOM JAVASCRIPT / HTML
Plus, our podcast summarizer can save you HOURS
There are so many good podcasts I can’t keep up with them all. The best shows release 2-3 a week and many of them are 3 hours long.
Again: ain’t nobody got time for that!!!
With our podcast summaries you can get the info you need in minutes.
Then we’ve grouped everything into
our massive library
- Business Buying
- Business Selling
- Business Strategy
- Finance
- Hiring
- Leadership
- Legal
- Marketing
- Mindset
- Negotiation
- Personal Development
- Productivity
- Real Estate
- Sales
SMBUni is building the largest entrepreneurship library in the world.

All of it is summarized with AI so you can find what you need, get educated, make a decision, and get on with your day.
Plus courses and quizzes to test your knowledge and make sure you really get it.
And our community upvotes the best content so you can see what really resonates.
This turns your biggest disadvantageinto an advantage.
After all you can’t get everything you need from books, interviews and podcasts.
You need support. You need community. You need a place to ask questions and bounce ideas off people.
That’s why we created:
The SMBUni Community
This is where the value really lies. You can read about entrepreneurship, you can hear about it.
But the value is having actual conversations with people who are already doing what you are trying to do.
The value is in experienced entrepreneurs telling you what’s around blind corners.
The value is in asking someone “what would you do?”
The value is finally having someone on your side who’s been there.
That cannot be replicated and that’s where SMBUni shines.
You’ll have a tribe. A support system.
You won’t be alone anymore.
I know your best friend, your spouse, and your dog don’t understand what you’re going through but once you join SMBUni you’ll have an entire community who knows exactly what it’s like.
You’ll have access to the forum where you can ask and answer questions to help your fellow SMBUni’s
Plus we’ll have monthly live Q&A’s - recorded for later reference.
And we’re creating peer groups for
- Self-Funded Searchers
- Traditional Searchers
- Raising Money
- Home Service Businesses
- Professional Service Businesses
- Manufacturing
- Ecommerce
- Revenue levels (<$1M, $1M-10M)
- Startups
- And much more
And we’ll email you a weekly summary so if you don’t have time to interact with the forum you can still know whats going on.
THIS is what you’ve been looking for…
Network, knowledge.
Strategy, tactics, support.
It’s all here.
I’ve thought about charging $10,000 for lifetime access, or maybe $5000.
That’s what many gurus in this space are charging - and it’s not clear what you are getting.
But I want it to be affordable.
I want the value to be so obvious that you don’t hesitate to jump into SMBUni, throw down that company card, and make it the easiest purchase you’ve ever made.
So I’ve got
THREE free gifts for you…
free gift #1:
The CEO Course
If you’re like me when I was starting out, I had ZERO idea how to run a proper company.
I was literally making it up as I went along.
You don’t have to do that any more. I have a 23-part course on how to run a company.
It includes everything from how to run 3 different kinds of meetings to dispute resolution.
Budgeting, agreement tracking, OKR’s, DRI’s and processes to run an entire company - it’s all here.
This is the CEO manual you’ve been begging for.
This course could make you millions if you put it into action.
Next up:
free gift #2:
The Offshore Hiring Course
EVERYONE, and I do mean everyone, is hiring offshore now.
For everything from customer service reps to full on Chief Financial Officers, you can find offshore talent and pay a fraction of what you’d pay here.
And here’s the deal: it’s pretty easy to do it too.
I know it looks intimidating with language, time zone, and culture differences but its actually super easy - as long as you get my step-by-step playbook.
I include complete scripts for the employment ad and interviews too.
You don’t have to pay a headhunter!
They charge as much as $5000 for each hire, you can run your own process for FREE with this.
(Sorry to all of my friends who have offshore hiring agencies, I’m letting the cat out of the bag)
And finally…
free gift #3:
The Tax-Free WealthFlywheel Course
I’ve mastered an incredible system to create massive wealth by combining cash-flowing businesses with insane, LEGAL tax shelters to pay almost no income tax.
I always scoffed when people said “The rich don’t pay taxes”. With this system, it’s absolutely possible.
I’ll walk you through how I used it the last three years to pay ZERO in two of those years, and almost nothing as I made an upper-six and lower-seven figure income.
My effective income tax rate has been about 4% over the last 3 years and I will show you how - step by step.
I’ve saved over a million dollars in taxes and I’ll give you the whole blueprint.
Like I said, it’s legal and it’s all laid out for you in SMBUni.
So what is it
all worth?
$10,000? $100,000?
You could make a very real case that it’s worth millions over your career with all these killer strategies and tactics.
But, as I said earlier, I want this to be a no-brainer purchase for you. Something beginners and experienced entrepreneurs alike will say “WOW that paid for itself in the first hour of my membership”,
So while I’m in launch mode and we’re getting the community going with new members, I’m going to put the price at $197 for LIFETIME ACCESS.

Here's what people are saying
SMBUni is the best online resource I've found for business owners, period. I use it and recommend it to my clients now too.
The lessons and the community are top notch. Planning on being a member for life!
~ Jason Maples, Insurance & Financial Planning
I don't think you're charging enough, Kriss! This is too valuable imo. Should be at least $250 a month (for others not me ha ha). No, I found just what I needed the other day when I was trying to figure out a new marketing angle. Super happy with this program.
~ Sam Ruiz, Cabinet Shop Owner
This is so so good. The interviews are amazing. I learned enough in the first hour to justify the monthly fee easily.
Can't wait to see what else you add! Keep it up.
~ Paul K, Law Firm Founder
New business buyers NEED this so badly. Often the guy with wisdom ends up w/ the new guy's money...and the new guy loses his money...and gains some wisdom. If you want to avoid that fate, join SMBUni. Seriously.
~ Charles Shively, Entrepreneur for 30 Years
I knew I needed help I just didn't know how badly until I got in SMbUni. The lessons in there were super eye-opening. I had no idea how to read a P&L and now I scan them and find problems easily. I'm a big fan, I am in there probably once a day looking stuff up and chatting to people.
~ Ben Jenkins, Sunshine Plumbing & Heating Owner
~ Matthew Lake, Chiropractor and Searcher
