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.

Great when it's good; terrible when it's bad. I've been investing with Kickfurther for several years. When co-ops are successful, it works well, and I would highly recommend it. Unfortunately, all too often co-ops fail, and it's then that I'm really disappointed with the KF process. When things go to collections, a tiny fraction - if anything - is ever recouped. Of course it's an investment, and there's a certain level of risk. However, I do not feel that KF does enough to support buyers when things go wrong. I have never heard of their legal team getting involved although co-ops often have a personal guarantee, and it seems like the case should be litigated. I've definitely made money through KF, but I've also lost more than I care to admit. Bottom line: proceed with caution.

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

100% loss of funds if companies don't pay. First few investments were great; dump some cash, wait a few months, pocket the interest, rinse & repeat. Except when some Kickfurthers paid zero - nothing - and then the final payment date passes. Your investment cycle is broken, your cash in limbo for who knows how long (if you're even getting it back). There are mechanisms for Kickfurther to cancel co-ops and obtain merchandise (if the merchant responds). There are mechanisms to settle for lower repayments (if the investors agree). There are also many many many ways a company that took a loan from Kickfurther can effectively ignore them while still raking in sales. Kickfurther doesn't send debt collectors, file lawsuits, seize collateral. The burden falls onto you, the investor, to sit it out and plead for the company to repay.

Deeply unethical company - Stay Away Deeply unethical company. They spam your email, try to sell you their product, then lie about how much funding your business is eligible for. Their customer service is terrible from my experience. I've been blatantly ignored with my concerns except when I was cold pitched I was called immediately after I had asked for a phone call. We were testing the waters, funding wasn't necessary nor are we desperate. Business is fine for us, but now we know if we need it, we shouldn't deal with them.
