I 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.

Great financing partners for high growth co's Kickfurther has been so incredible to work with. We interviewed so many different financing partners, and they came up at the top of the list after we checked off all of our boxes for what we're looking for in a partner. Plan to refer a lot of friends who could benefit with their financing solutions. Highly recommend them, you won't be disappointed.

I honestly thought the concept and… I honestly thought the concept and terms were too good to be true after my intial call! The process was very easy to implement from start to finish. Kickfurther is a solution all companies of all sizes should collectively leverage as a very real solution for every day inventory, new product launches or any special projects.

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.

INVESTORS 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).
