INVESTORS SHOULD STAY AWAY INVESTORS SHOULD STAY AWAY If you're thinking about investing with Kickfurther, don't. While the co-ops seem to have a number of protections such as personal guarantees, UC filings, etc, in practice, none of these are ever used. Kickfurther instead hides behind co-ops failing to meet a vote of "no confidence" by the co-op lenders to take no action against any of the companies that have failed to payback lenders. On it's face, this seems democratic but Kickfurther doesn't take into account lenders abstaining from a vote and since most lenders aren't actively participating on the platform NO VOTE CAN EVER GET OVER 50%. What Kickfurther should do, is look at what percentage of people that voted on an action were in favor or against (aka how any other vote in politics, the boardroom, etc works).

Smooth transaction Smooth transaction. I sought inventory funding to grow our product selection. They vetted my business fairly thoroughly, more than I expected, but fairly straightforward paperwork we keep. The transaction funded quickly. We are not yet through the payment phase, but we hope to use again in the future when the needs arises.

Take a Swing on Kickfuther As a brand, Kickfuther has empowered up us to say YES to deals that would have otherwise put too much pressure on our cash position to move forward with. The byproduct of running Co-Ops on Kickfuther is COMMUNITY! It's been so cool funding deals with investors/backers who are also consumers. If you are a brand or a potential backer, I would like to encourage you to take a swing on Kickfuther!

Solid platform for individuals and small funds The platform has grown quite a bit since early days. Deal quality has improved tremendously, albeit volume is still rather low. The stricter underwriting standards are paying off. Reporting infrastructure is still not there, but the team is capable, and with that piece in place next year this will be an even more robust and useful investment opportunity.

Kickfurther is the best inventory… Kickfurther is the best inventory financing solution for small to medium sized brands. They have great rates and are very legit. We applied a few times before making it through the entire process. Their process ensures that both the brand and backers are well vetted and will be successful.
