EASY TO WORK WITH, VERY EFICCIENT GREAT TEAM

As a company, the financing tool Kickfurther offers is very straight forward. The steps and process takes a little bit to understand, as all of the steps to set-up each financing were not intuitive. I have been getting great customer support and service from the Sales and Support team. But we are now starting our 5th funding, and things are so much easier with each time.

I believe the process was relatively easy. Love the concept. The funding was later than promised so it caused some delays in delivery.

I think that Kickfurther is a great platform. I think that there a couple things that could be improved. 1. Communication between Kickfurther and users when cosignments are labelled trouble. We want to know whats going on. This is our money which is going into the backing of these companies. It is important for KF to continue to vet and bother owners to get answers. I have too much money in cosignments where they are troubled. I get too much of a basic form reply from both KF and the owner, but nothing ever comes of it. Continued communication would be best. The trust that KF builds with its users is what will help the company continue to grow. We are the capital providers! 2. If you are going to claim to offer updates evey week or 2 weeks stick with it. This is a trust issue. Or keep on the owners to provide those updates.

I love the Kickfurther mission and enjoy participating. I am happy to see the dedication and commitment the entrepreneurs have for businesses. I am extremely pleased to see the prompt, informative and honest communication from entrepreneurs if their investments enter troubled status and how they pull out all the stops to fulfill their obligations. I would like to see on the Kickfurther site better/clearer information on payback schedules/calendars so I can see the numerous payback amounts & timing that I have coming. Also, it would be nice to see a clearer summary of my investment + paybacks to date + paybacks scheduled. And a table showing the actual ROI vs the promised for each contribution and for my portfolio as a whole. Seems like the site is a continual work in progress, always improving and making it better for both entrepreneurs and investors.

I like the idea behind Kickfurther and it functions very well. The only complaint I have is timely communication when companies are behind on payments. It seems that some areas have high risk consignments have been provided with little to no updates on either end (Kickfurther or the company being funded). If the team at Kickfurther has tried to contact the troubled company let the buyers know. It's frustrating having a company be weeks or months behind and have no idea whats going on.

I gave 4 stars because there is always room for improvement. I don't have any problems with the platform.

a) many new businesses are unclear on how the system works and providing wrong information in comments. It would have been better for Kickfurther to monitor and respond more actively to ensure that both business and investors have the right information b) many investors use credit cards to fund the whole 5%. Many Co-ops that didn't get filled can be directly attributed towards the $500 limit on credit card transactions. Most investors rely on credit cards.
