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).

Kickfurther 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

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!

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.

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.
