We Are Driven.
Kickstand drives proven venture capital, consulting, and business advisory services for the ambitious.
Our founder has over thirty years of experience providing venture capital, consulting, and business advisory services. During that time, Jeff Anderson managed some of the most successful companies and brands in the world.
Whether running Hasbro‘s billion-dollar gaming business or building Turbine into the world’s largest independent online game company, he has done it all. Jeff has grown companies by leveraging the power of brands and negotiating complex publishing deals. He has also closed some of the biggest licensing deals in the world, including franchises like The Lord of the Rings and the National Football League.
Consequently, he has raised capital and acquired companies with a combined enterprise value of nearly $500 million.
Venture Capital
We know it isn’t easy to build a winning product, but it starts with the right amount of capital. Yet, funding raising is one of any executive’s most important (and difficult) tasks. As a result, most CEOs will tell you that fundraising is very hard, complex, and time-consuming – especially true in this market. Consequently, Kickstand is here to help you with seed funding.
Corporate Advisory
After all these years, we have learned what we do well. We never try to sell you an individual service or strategy that we don’t believe in. Therefore, whether it is helping you manage your board (with an independent board seat) or supporting your long-term strategic planning, Kickstand is here to provide you with world-class support for your company.
Business Consulting
The road ahead is indeed uncertain. No one can predict the future, so it’s critical to surround yourself with the right team. At Kickstand, we see ourselves as an extension of you. Your goals are our goals, and your plans are our plans. As a result, our team is committed to driving results—whether it is signing a big brand or getting a new publishing deal.
