About Steve Bendzak, owner of Equity Catapult

Meet Steve

Founder of Equity Catapult. Growth strategist. Team builder. Proven operator.

With 30+ years of scaling brands, leading turnarounds, and transforming teams, Steve helps business owners move from stuck to scaling and lead with confidence again.

You’ve built something real, but now it feels heavier than ever. Growth has slowed. Your team’s misaligned. And every big decision still lands on your shoulders.

That’s where Steve comes in.
With more than 30 years of experience leading startups, turnarounds, acquisitions, and global brands, Steve has sat in the founder’s seat and knows what it’s like when success starts to feel like a trap.

He created Equity Catapult to help owners like you simplify the complex, realign their leadership, and regain the clarity they need to move forward, whether that means scaling with confidence or preparing for a strategic exit.

This isn’t consulting, and it’s not coaching.
It’s a founder-to-founder partnership — built on hard-won experience, proven systems, and deep empathy for the weight of leadership.

If you’re tired of carrying it all alone, this is your next right conversation.

What Makes Equity
Catapult Different

Steve helps founders build teams that run without them.

He’s known for creating cultures of ownership, alignment, and real momentum — giving leaders the margin to grow without micromanaging.

Building Teams That Run Themselves

System & Soul can change your company, outcome, and give you back your freedom.

Steve started his career at a chaotic startup with zero process but a bold vision. As national sales manager, he helped lead the company to three appearances on the INC 500 list and an eventual exit — all before age 30. He’s been building and scaling ever since.

After his company was acquired, Steve continued to lead sales and marketing across brands, including new ones he helped launch. Through multiple acquisitions — including by a public company — Steve grew revenue, expanded global distribution, and built brands that lasted.
