Kaulig Companies

What Kaulig Companies does

Kaulig Companies Limited is a private single-member family office headquartered at 1521 Georgetown Road in Hudson, Ohio, founded by Matt Kaulig and led by Executive Chairman Matt Kaulig alongside President and CEO Tim Clepper. The firm operates a diversified portfolio of wholly owned subsidiaries across consumer home products, sports and entertainment, marketing services, financial services, and philanthropy. Its flagship operating asset is LeafFilter, the nation's largest gutter protection company with 385,000+ customers and 150+ offices across the United States and Canada, complemented by Leaf Home Safety Solutions in home accessibility. Sports and entertainment exposure is anchored by Kaulig Racing, which competes full-time in the NASCAR Cup and Craftsman Truck Series with Ram Trucks as its 2026 anchor factory partner, and by the Kaulig Companies Championship, a four-year title sponsorship of a PGA Tour Champions major at Firestone Country Club.

The business model spans multiple revenue mechanics rather than a single GTM. LeafFilter and Leaf Home Safety Solutions generate one-time direct-to-consumer revenue through professionally installed home improvements sold via a 150+ office field sales force. Kaulig Racing earns NASCAR prize money and corporate sponsorship fees (Chevrolet, Nutrien Ag Solutions, Cirkul, Ellsworth Advisors). The Firestone tournament and 2026 Bailey Zimmerman concert produce sponsorship, ticketing, and hospitality revenue. Ellsworth Advisors operates a recurring subscription-style wealth management practice serving high net worth and ultra-high net worth families, while Kaulig Capital deploys the family's permanent capital into control and minority private equity and real estate positions. Kaulig Media provides in-house and external marketing, branding, and event management services.

Philanthropy is structurally embedded in the enterprise through Kaulig Giving (created 2018, supporting 200+ Northeast Ohio nonprofits), the Kaulig Foundation (established 2019 as a private family foundation), and Samantha's Gift of Hope (an IVF financial assistance program). Recent strategic emphasis has shifted toward media-content monetization of the NASCAR asset (the Fox "RAM Race for the Seat" reality series) and live entertainment adjacency at Firestone, alongside the multi-year Ram Trucks factory partnership beginning in 2026.
