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.

I looked for investors...but I will become one.... I looked for investors for my e-commerce business thank God I found this company, now I started the process I looked here on the reviews on trust pilot I see that all the companies what required funding are happy but not all the investors.. so I am a company looking for funding,so for me it should be pretty easy... But here it comes they protect the investor like crazy, they make sure you can pay back Even if the deal goes south... they make due diligence like crazy they base everything on hard data so I plan now into being an investor....

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.

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.

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.
