Potential is everywhere.
Opportunity should be too.

Kicksa began with a first-hand frustration: trying to find motivated students and graduates who wanted real-world experience, but struggling to connect with the right people.

For a small business or someone working for themselves, there’s often a project that needs attention and limited capacity to take it on. For a student or graduate, there’s a different challenge: showing what you can do when you haven’t yet had the chance to do it in a business.

Founded by Liam Bugler, Kicksa brings those two sides together. A student might help explore a new audience. A graduate might bring a fresh approach to a website. The business shares its knowledge; the candidate gains skills, feedback and something tangible to show.

We’re starting with focused projects for smaller businesses and people working for themselves. The aim is to build connections that are useful on both sides. Over time, that could grow into paid internships and early-career roles. For now, we’re inviting students and businesses to register their interest.
