GBSolid 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.

GBKickfurther Exceeded My Expectations Kickfurther is a great platform for companies looking for financing, they go above and beyond to help your business! I worked with Matt Hughes, he is an amazing person to work with. He exceeded my expectations in every way. His level of commitment and professionalism is incredible.

GBKickstart Your Business Growth with Kickfurther! I'm Pavan, the co-founder of Houndsy, and diving into Kickfurther was like finding a goldmine for us. Their 'Inventory now, pay later' motto is a lifesaver, especially before the hectic holiday season. They covered 100% of our inventory costs at great rates, and the best part? We'll only pay them back after our sales period. It's a stress-buster not worrying about stockouts anymore. A big shoutout to Matt Hughes, their Sales Manager! He wasn't just about business; he got to know Houndsy and worked out how Kickfurther could help us grow. His 24/7 availability, whether via text, call or email, was beyond impressive. He’s the reason we chose Kickfurther over others and why we’ll stick around. Kickfurther is more than just a financing platform to us, it’s a partner in our growth story. If you're a hard goods entrepreneur looking to scale up without the financial headaches, Kickfurther is your go-to!

GB100% 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.

GBTake 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!
