About Kickstart
Kickstart is an early-stage venture capital firm founded from a trailer in New Mexico during a recession, focused on backing overlooked and outlier founders in Utah, Colorado, and the greater Mountain West territory, including Arizona, Idaho, Montana, and New Mexico. The firm typically leads pre-seed, seed, and occasional Series A rounds, setting terms, syndicating rounds, and taking board seats. Kickstart positions itself as local (with offices in Utah and Colorado), generalist in its investment approach across the innovation stack, and focused on the earliest stages of company formation. Since its founding, it has raised multiple funds (from Fund 2 at $26M up to Fund 6 at $175M) and built a network of entrepreneurs, operators, and investors across the region, serving early-stage startup founders as its primary clients.
