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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
