E280: Inventory Funding Solutions with Sean & David of Kickfurther


Listen Later

It's a new month and change is coming to the EcomCrew Podcast.

If you haven't listened to last Thursday's goals update, I talked about us reducing the number of episodes in a week from two to one. We want to provide you with the best possible content and, in order to do that, it was a decision to go for quality over quantity.

Today's episode is something that I believe fits the bill. As entrepreneurs, we tend to fall prey to our own success. The struggle to keep up with growth often means that our cash flow takes a beating. Affording inventory can become a real problem.

This is why I'm excited to have Kickfurther CEO Sean de Clerq and VP of Business Development David Koifman on the show.

Kickfurther is a platform that brings together businesses with inventory funding needs and individuals looking to grow their money on ecommerce. The platform helps cash-strapped businesses grow by raising funds from individual buyers to pay for the business' next order. When the business sells the inventory successfully, the individual buyers get paid and earn a profit.

In this episode, you'll learn:

  • How a Kickstarter campaign and Sean's financing problem gave birth to the idea of Kickfurther - 2:34
  • How Kickfurther deals first came together - 8:23
  • How Sean found early backers who trusted their brand-new platform - 10:35
  • Criteria for a business to be on the platform - 19:08
  • Step-by-step process for a business to get funding - 23:53
  • Timeline for a business to get funding - 28:13
  • Kickfurther's finance charges - 29:59
  • What returns have been historically for investors - 36:22
  • Risk factors - 44:38
  • Consignment setup - 48:44
  • Special Kickfurther deal for EcomCrew listeners - 53:43
