Dishonest Dishonest, horrible business. They recently deleted their "cancelled co-ops" page, so you can't see how many (very, very many) co-ops have gone belly-up. They delete critical comments from their page and restrict negative commenters from ever leaving comments again. Worst of all, they do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING when a company fails. They send it to collections and forget about it. They don't sue the company or take any action to recover your money. Beware! Run far, far away from this shady business.

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).

I used Kickfurther once and will never… I used Kickfurther once and will never do so again. Lots of hidden and surprise fees that ruined the economics of their offer entirely. In addition, I did not appreciate being babysat by some 20-something junior team member who clearly had no sales experience.

Don't do it I started investing with KF in 2019. I've had a net loss over that time period because deals keep going south and KF doesn't do anything to enforce payment. Some deals work out great. But in my experience as a whole, you are much better off finding something else.

Kickfurther Kicks A** We've been working with Kickfurther for several months now and have been able to fund several inventory purchases using there unique methods! We love the team and the system has been very easy to use and there is pretty clear communication consistently and with very little issues. We have even been pressed for time and had Matt and his team work some magic on more than one occasion. They are a great resource for any entrepreneur selling a product. Love the platform and the team is great. - Latif H CEO / Designer SpiritHoods
