Smart Moves, Long Game: Kikstart Capital Kicks Off in Amsterdam
Yesterday at Skylounge Ventuno in Amsterdam, a select group of former and current professional footballers came together with investors, mentors, and advisors for the Kikstart Capital Kik-off — an evening dedicated to one of the most important topics in an athlete’s journey: financial control.
Why It Matters
A football career can be brilliant — but short. That’s why financial decisions made during the playing days can shape a player’s life long after the final whistle. The Kikstart Capital Kik-off event offered insight, access, and real conversations about smart investing as a top athlete. More than just a networking event, it was a wake-up call: planning for the future starts now.
Introducing Kikstart Capital
Hosted by professional footballer Kik Pierie, the evening also marked the official launch of his new platform: Kikstart Capital. With firsthand experience in both football and finance, Pierie is on a mission to shift the mindset of athletes — from relying on others to taking control themselves:
Athletes deserve financial opportunities that actually fit their careers. Kikstart helps them gain insight, find smart investments, and make decisions with confidence.
The platform’s approach is refreshingly clear:
- No jargon, just smart strategies
- Practical insights tailored to an athlete’s lifestyle
- Connections to trusted partners and long-term opportunities
Kikstart Capital isn’t about overnight wealth or quick fixes. It’s about helping athletes build a sustainable financial foundation — on their own terms.
A New Kind of Locker Room Talk
From casual conversations over drinks to focused discussions about long-term vision, the Kikstart Capital Kik-off created space for a new kind of dialogue in the football world. One where athletes speak not just about games, but about goals that last far beyond the pitch.
