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.

Kickstart Your Business Growth with Kickfurther! I'm Pavan, the co-founder of Houndsy, and diving into Kickfurther was like finding a goldmine for us. Their 'Inventory now, pay later' motto is a lifesaver, especially before the hectic holiday season. They covered 100% of our inventory costs at great rates, and the best part? We'll only pay them back after our sales period. It's a stress-buster not worrying about stockouts anymore. A big shoutout to Matt Hughes, their Sales Manager! He wasn't just about business; he got to know Houndsy and worked out how Kickfurther could help us grow. His 24/7 availability, whether via text, call or email, was beyond impressive. He’s the reason we chose Kickfurther over others and why we’ll stick around. Kickfurther is more than just a financing platform to us, it’s a partner in our growth story. If you're a hard goods entrepreneur looking to scale up without the financial headaches, Kickfurther is your go-to!

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 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.

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.
