MSPwiz Founder and CEO Kevin Anderson reflects on the year of growth since attending IT Nation Connect Global and why he is going back for more this November.

Worcester, MA – April 14, 2026 – MSPwiz, the leading matchmaking service for businesses and managed service providers (MSPs), today announced it has been selected for Web Summit’s ALPHA Startup program, taking place May 11-14, 2026, in Vancouver. The event, expected to draw more than 35,000 global technology innovators, leaders, and investors, will feature pitch competitions, advisory sessions, and wall-to-wall opportunities to network and exhibit groundbreaking technologies.
Attendees are encouraged to visit the MSPwiz Booth to learn more about the company’s elegant, first-to-market service that reduces search times from months to minutes, helping businesses find the right managed service provider (MSP) partner in a fraction of the time and cost as traditional methods.
“I just used MSPwiz to finalize our selection of a strategic managed service provider,” said Jamil Ahmed, EVP, Operations at Transparent Energy. “Had I known about them earlier, I estimate we would have reduced our search and vetting process by more than 50 hours. That said, what I value most is that their platform helped us move from ‘guessing’ to ‘knowing’ which MSP would be the best fit for us.”
MSPwiz will be heading to Vancouver riding powerful tailwinds. After a successful public beta of its platform last year, the company has built an elite Advisory Board of successful MSP entrepreneurs and technologists, expanded its MSP database, continued to enhance its AI-powered MSP matchmaking platform, and successfully used its proprietary algorithms to match businesses with MSPs. Additionally, demand for MSP services – along with the acute need to better match businesses with IT service providers – is continuing to escalate, driven by growing acceptance of the business model and challenges posed by cybersecurity and AI.
“I strongly believe the MSP industry has reached an inflection point,” said Don Penland, Operating Partner, KNOX Capital, MSPwiz Advisory Board member. “Businesses of all sizes realize they cannot keep pace with IT change and opportunity by simply hiring internal resources; bringing MSPs on board is now an accepted – and desired – part of the SMB and enterprise IT playbook. And that means finding the right IT partner quickly and effectively is now a must-have capability, something MSPwiz is uniquely positioned to deliver.”
Added Kevin Anderson, Founder and CEO, MSPwiz, “We’re excited to show the throngs of entrepreneurs, innovators, business leaders, and investors at Web Summit Vancouver what MSPwiz is all about. I think attendees will appreciate how our platform dramatically simplifies a complex, manual, and burdensome process – i.e., searching for, vetting, and selecting an MSP – one that most participants, on either side of the transaction, would agree is ripe for improvement.
“Simply put, platforms at their best automate, simplify, and make efficient what was once laborious, tedious, and often ineffective. MSPwiz represents platform-thinking at its best, fixing a broken process and streamlining it – and customers and MSPs love it.”

MSPwiz Founder and CEO Kevin Anderson reflects on the year of growth since attending IT Nation Connect Global and why he is going back for more this November.
Studies show a majority of small and medium sized businesses and enterprises are unhappy with their current IT support/managed service provider (MSP). So why hold onto what’s not working? Why hesitate to make a change?
The dreaded RFP. Just the thought of developing one, figuring out who to send it to, managing the endless back and forth, and normalizing the feedback is almost enough to make most companies say, “Let’s skip it and make do with what we have.”
In a series of recent blogs, MSPwiz Founder and CEO has been examining the “triggers” that push businesses to hire an MSP. In this blog, Kevin considers an important one – growth.
Small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) seeking the services of a managed service provider for IT Support lack the expertise needed to select the right provider. Put another way, the expertise they are seeking is the very expertise they require to make the best choice.
The 2026 Channel Partners MSP 501 list was released, listing the world’s top managed service providers. This list is a big deal for MSPs, providing a data-driven ranking and, to a certain extent, stamp of approval, from an important industry organization.
There are many triggers that drive small and medium-sized businesses and enterprises to hire a managed service provider (MSP) for IT services.
