Both the companies that have used the platform and the "contributors" to the platform ultimately leave frustrated due to poor management, sloppy accounting, and outright fraudulent offers that are allowed onto the system. Best to avoid.

Lost $5525.62 with this platform through complete fraud or several companies simply not repaying with no recourse whatsoever. Kickfurther has had no success at all in retrieving funds, even though they're supposed to be backed by inventory. Little to no updates or comments from the management and staff on the platform. Would not recommend. Terrible experience.

Not really interested in helping their backers...

This company can be considered either a scam, or just run by completely incompetent management. When everything goes as planned, it works fine. But they have an extremely poor vetting process and take no responsibility for providing users incorrect information on which to base their decisions. They have no remedies for user when a fraudulent company just walks off with the money. They take a percentage on the money raised anyway, so they don't care, they get paid either way. Oh, and when things go south on a funded offer? VERY POOR communication from Kickfurther. I've gone MONTHS without hearing an update. There's a reason our real financial institutions do as much vetting as they do now before giving out loans. Because when they go bust, they are out that money. Kickfurther literally has nothing on the line here, and they don't care what these listings say as long as they get their cut.

Extremely incompetent management. Kickfurther is guaranteed to be shut down.

Fraud! I've invested with Kickfurther. What a mistake! This company is a SCAM! They do NOTHING to safeguard your investment from fraudulent companies, and when those companies don't pay as promised, they do NOTHING to try to recoup your investment. If you contact them, they ignore you. If you criticize them on their site, they delete your comments and ban you from leaving anymore comments. They took my money and now they are totally unaccountable for their negligence and fraud.

After you invest in a "company", your money is almost to be lost permanently. Many of my co-ops failed with no payment for 10 to 30 months! No response and recovery from Kickfurther at all. The failed co-ops are just a dead silence. It is a totally scam, avoid investing any buck on Kickfurther!

I too have invested in Kickfurther and have been very disappointed. Kulturpon Incorporated was a fake company whose website went down soon after they received our investment. Sockwa Corporation used the investment to buy inventory but states that the inventory we funded hasn’t sold so they have not repaid their loan. And The Mulberry Silk Company said they were having trouble selling inventory, sent inventory to Kickfurther who has sold some (the first payment took Kickfurther several months to pay because they had to “develop” a program to distribute the money). No payments since January 2017. I have found that Kickfurther does not vet the companies that they ask you to fund. This is the biggest scam out there. They charge you to “invest” your money as well as when you want to withdraw it (if you ever get any back) It is their position that 1) They are not required to track down the owners of default companies to get them to sign a personal guarantee or enlist the help of the collection agency to try to recoup funds. 2) They are not required to file a lawsuit and use our their funds and legal resources to pursue a judgment on default companies. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY.
