Kickpoint Ventures

What we do

We work with owners and operators who want to earn more and reach their next level of success. We work as strategy and execution accelerators - coaches, consultants, doers, and operators. We have 3 primary focus areas: Family/Founder Consulting, Capital Partnerships, and Private Equity Consulting.

We focus on areas with execution risks and where closing the gap between “good and great” makes a big difference in valuation. These areas are complex and require integration of strategy, analytics, people management, and execution discipline. We bring decades of experience as operators and leaders at the world’s best advisory firms, including McKinsey & Company and Boston Consulting Group.

How we partner

Family/Founder Consulting

Performance based consulting for businesses <$10M EBITDA in need of transformation and/or transition

We partner with family/founder owned businesses to transform and transition businesses. Many desire to earn more, 'get unstuck', or are contemplating or pursuing a transition (i.e. succession planning, capital injection, exit).

Capital Partnerships

Control equity positions for businesses $3-10M EBITDA with opportunity to scale and/or transition

We partner with family/founder owned businesses to exit or take on capital for acceleration. Platform investments typically have $3-10M in EBITDA, differentiated value propositions, and attractive industry dynamics.

Private Equity Consulting

Performance based consulting for Private Equity sponsors and portfolio companies

We partner with Private Equity companies and their portfolio companies to drive value creation - as extensions of Portfolio Operations Teams and Embedded Chief Transformation Officers.
