Before stepping into the world of solopreneurship, Evan Kuterbach spent over a decade in sales and marketing, working across industries like tech, martech, SaaS, and e-commerce. He honed his skills in sales strategy, building connections, and helping businesses grow—starting with his first job out of college with the Phoenix Suns.
In early 2023, Evan hit a turning point. Burnout pushed him to rethink his career, and he decided to take a leap into entrepreneurship. That’s when he launched Gibson Voicebox, a copywriting business that blends storytelling and strategy to help brands connect with their audiences authentically.
Later in 2023 and into early 2024, he co-founded Canyon Pickleball, combining his passion for the outdoors with community and sustainability. Through every paddle sold, the company gives back to national parks and inspires people to explore more. Today, he’s focused on building businesses with purpose, staying honest about the process, and helping others take their own ideas from dream to reality.
