Gavin is the founding visionary at Kickstart. In 2008, he recognized the need for both leadership and seed-stage capital in the region, so he launched Kickstart to fill this gap. His guidance to founders is born of first-hand experience and a desire to build not just a fund but an entire ecosystem.
Before helping to pave the way for seed funding in Utah, Colorado, and the Mountain West, Gavin was an analyst, associate, and principal at vSpring Capital (now Signal Peak).
