Kickstart is the most active and tenured pre-seed and seed venture capital firm in the Mountain West. We’ve been backing outlier founders across Utah, Colorado, and the broader region since 2008. With two decades of early-stage investing experience, seven funds, and 150+ active portfolio companies, we’ve built the team, experience, network, and investment platform to consistently identify and support the Mountain West’s strongest early-stage companies.
We lead pre-seed and seed rounds, with the flexibility and capital to continue backing our highest-conviction companies through Series A and beyond. Our portfolio companies have attracted follow-on capital from the leading top-tier firms, scaled to hundreds of millions in revenue, and achieved billion-dollar outcomes. Notable companies include Lucid Software, Podium, Galileo (acquired by Sofi), Spiff (acquired by Salesforce), and Angel Studios (NYSE: ANGX).
Our partnership brings together decades of experience investing in, building, and scaling early-stage companies. Each of us leads investments and works directly with founders, combining individual accountability with the full experience, network, and resources of the firm.
