GBI 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....

GBKickfurther 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

GBI 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.

GBWe met Kickfurther representatives at Expo East We met Kickfurther representatives at the Expo East Gourmet Food Show about a month ago. We manufacture and sell high end sea salt with a variety of blends and infusions. We were able to receive funding at very reasonable terms for much needed inventory purchases for the holiday season. There consignment formula is a great way to grow your business compared to traditional bank and finance companies. The process goes very smoothly with a Kickfurther representative that helps to at each step. We are looking forward to working with Kickfurther on many more co-ops.

GBINVESTORS 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).
