Welcome to the home of KickStart..

KickStart has been in publication, since January 2004 ... reporting  the business news and items relevant to Huntsville business.  We are dedicated to the business journal process which differs significantly from news reporting as well as news clippings.  We proudly base our product on several marvelous predecessors, the most significant being The Huntsville Report a product that had no peer in its time and served the community for many years.

KickStart's vision is identical in its desire to serve.  Where previous business journals were extremely lengthy and produced with less frequency, current digital tools allow us to research, edit and publish on a weekly basis, with Breaking News items going out within minutes of their discovery.

Our emphasis is on understanding the community and maintaining a product that remains in step with Huntsville's needs and interests.  ...not long ago we were at the  base of the BRAC wave, now we're riding the crest.  Fifteen years ago HSV had a strong space presence with International Space Station coming to town, then defense held our collective eye with Missile Defense contracts.  Now, there is new-found interest in space with Ares 1 being built in our backyard.

Through it all, KickStart has worked to keep a thumb on the pulse and to keep the Huntsville community aware of strategic trends and changes as well as business opportunities. And just as Huntsville has changed, KickStart continues to evolve.  So, stay tuned, let me know what you think of our products, and when we can help you, or your company ...let us know.
