The Origin

From a basement in Omaha.

Austin Redondo was tired. Tired of his umbrella falling over the moment he set it down. Tired of his banana rolling helplessly off the kitchen counter. Tired of his riot shield slumping forward in the office break room during lunch.

In the spring of 2024, in a basement in Omaha, Nebraska, Austin prototyped the first KickStan — a small, durable, telescoping aluminum leg that could be affixed to virtually anything that didn't already have a leg.

Today, KickStan ships to all 50 states and 47 countries.* Each unit is engineered to outlast the object it supports. Each unit comes with a 30-day stand-up guarantee. Each unit is built on a single principle: things should stand up when you set them down.

*Numbers reflect aspirational projections.
