Monty McCoy contributes chapter to founder anthology on business value beyond growth

Monty McCoy, founder and principal of McCoy Ven. LLC, contributed a chapter to a new anthology about the value businesses create beyond revenue and scale. The book is now available on Amazon in paperback, hardcover and Kindle editions.

Why it matters: - The anthology frames business impact as more than growth, revenue or headcount. - McCoy’s chapter focuses on a practical question in workplace AI: who gets the time automation creates. - The theme lands in a moment when companies are using AI to increase output, often without returning time to employees.

What happened: - Monty McCoy, founder and principal of McCoy Ven. LLC, contributed a chapter to The Entrepreneurial Impact: The Purpose, Influence, and Value Businesses Create Beyond Their Own Growth. - McCoy’s chapter is titled “Who Owns the Time.” - The book was published Oct. 20, 2026. - The anthology is available in paperback, hardcover and Kindle on Amazon.

The details: - The book collects chapters from founders about what changes because their businesses exist, including the people they help, the problems they solve, the opportunities they create and the communities around them. - McCoy’s chapter argues that workplace AI often raises the output bar, adds review work and creates more to sort through, rather than delivering quieter afternoons. - McCoy connects that argument to his own work helping people reclaim time instead of letting organizations absorb it. - McCoy has more than 30 years of experience leading enterprise IT and shared services. - Through McCoy Ven. LLC, an independent consultancy based in Woodland, California, McCoy helps small and mid-market operators tighten operations, modernize shared services and IT, and adopt practical AI. - McCoy leads every engagement himself, uses AI tools for research, analysis and drafting, and keeps final approval on decisions. - McCoy said, “I've always worked to be a valuable asset to every company I've been part of. Now, as a newer entrepreneur, I'm learning why it matters to claim that value creation for myself.” - The print editions are published by Associated Book Publishers. - The Kindle edition is published by Spines.

Between the lines: - The chapter pushes against the idea that productivity gains automatically benefit workers. - McCoy’s framing suggests automation can create new friction unless leaders deliberately decide where the saved time goes. - The book’s premise also reflects a broader founder narrative: business value can show up in operational improvements, community impact and human outcomes, not just scale.

What’s next: - The book is now on sale through Amazon. - McCoy Ven. LLC says engagement work is project-based. - More information is available on Monty McCoy’s website and his contact page.

The bottom line: - McCoy’s contribution turns a workplace AI question into a business ownership question: who captures the value, and who gets the time.
