About

Kickstart began with the recognition that there was a problem to be solved. After five years of making Series A investments in Utah, our founder, Gavin Christensen, saw that the lack of seed capital in Utah and the West was hurting entrepreneurs and that the ecosystem needed a seed fund. In 2008, Gavin worked with local universities, angel investors, entrepreneurs, venture capital funds, and other key stakeholders to build a seed fund that the community could rally behind. Following the launch of its first $8M fund, Kickstart became known for being accessible, willing to lead investments in promising but early teams, and for being fair with entrepreneurs and investors alike. Kickstart Seed Fund quickly became the most active investor in Utah and is now synonymous with seed capital in the region.
