Kick-Start Ventures Ltd
| |  | | Kick-Start Ventures Limited is a next-generation service company designed to address the specific needs of both early-stage companies and venture capitalists in the internet, telecommunications and high-tech industries. Kick-Start's innovative business model leverages traditional consulting skills in a rapidly growing market that large, established consultancies are struggling to serve. We take an equity-based success fee, thus our clients' success determines our own. Kick-Start provides specialised practical assistance to European start-ups and small companies. These services, together with our wide high-tech experience and contact networks, maximise an entrepreneur's chances of raising funds and minimise the amount of equity they give away. We develop a coherent business case and water-tight financials as a rock-solid foundation for negotiation with investors. This 'kick-start' is particularly valuable to the many companies with a strong marketing or technical bias, but relatively limited business or financial expertise. Kick-Start provides the following services:· Write and optimise financial plans and business cases· Support negotiations with potential investors, partners and acquisition targets· Leverage network and contacts· Provide time-limited 'body / skill leasing' for managerial activities· Assist with planning and implementing exit strategies To venture capitalists and other investors Kick-Start offers a range of pre- and post-deal services:· Analyse markets, identify trends and patterns· Evaluate business plans, profile targets· Design and implement exit strategies, identify potential trade purchasers· Provide information services on market trends / emerging opportunitiesOur international network allows Kick-Start to offer European entrepreneurs access to UK and US-based investors and vice versa. Kick-Start Ventures was founded by Dominique Megret, Harry MacMillan and Simon Aspinall. They have experience of almost 20 years of management consulting, 40 Internet and high-tech projects across most European countries and high-tech operational management. They are supported by a strong, expanding professional advisor network of venture capitalists, investment bankers, entrepreneurs and senior members of several leading European and US Internet companies e.g. CFO of eToys. Since formation in early October 1999 Kick-Start has experienced strong demand and is now actively recruiting.Contact details: Harry MacMillanTel: 07803 905 608 Dominique Maigret Tel: 07899 792 927email: hmacmillan@kickstartventures.comdmegret@kickstartventures.com
