Kickfurther

Kickfurther operates the world's first online inventory financing marketplace, providing a unique consignment-based funding model that connects consumer product brands with individual and institutional buyers. MARKETPLACE FUNDING MODEL Kickfurther's Co-Op (Consignment Opportunity) model allows brands to raise inventory funding from a community of marketplace buyers. Brands create a Co-Op profile outlining their product, funding needs, and expected sales timeline. Buyers fund the inventory purchase, and Kickfurther pays the manufacturer directly. Brands make no payments until inventory is received and sales begin, with repayments structured around actual sales periods. FLEXIBLE FINANCING TERMS Unlike traditional lenders with fixed repayment schedules, Kickfurther's structure aligns payments with a brand's cash flow. Brands outline expected sales periods and submit sales reports at the end of each period, paying consignment profit to buyers for items sold. This model alleviates the cash-flow pinch that traditional financing creates and allows brands to maintain financial flexibility while scaling. MARKET POSITIONING AND PRICING Kickfurther's private marketplace features best-in-market pricing that improves with each deal. As brands build track records on the platform, they access lower annualized rates and higher funding limits. Most deals fund within a day of going live, providing rapid access to capital when needed. QUALIFICATION AND PROCESS To qualify, brands need at least $200,000 in trailing 12-month revenue and must sell physical products. The process involves creating a brand profile, structuring a Co-Op using Kickfurther's calculator, and verifying credibility metrics with the team. All businesses are subject to approval and must be compliant with state and federal regulations. PROVEN GROWTH IMPACT Brands using Kickfurther have reported significant growth, with customers citing 89% year-over-year revenue increases and the ability to finance product launches and large wholesale orders that would otherwise be impossible. The platform has funded hundreds of opportunities totaling millions in inventory across diverse consumer product categories.
