Crowdfunded inventory for small businesses
We were a part of Boomtown Boulder's second accelerator class, and after a few months of thrashing and pivoting, we feel we've got something pretty cool! We are a new crowdfunding platform with a twist - we let you partner with retail businesses by financing their inventory, helping them with marketing/lead generation and then collecting a return when that inventory sells. What I am personally really excited about, is that because the users are actively engaged throughout the process, this type of investment is not classified as a security and we can offer it to non-accredited…
What it does
In the maker’s words, at launch
We were a part of Boomtown Boulder's second accelerator class, and after a few months of thrashing and pivoting, we feel we've got something pretty cool!

What I am personally really excited about, is that because the users are actively engaged throughout the process, this type of investment is not classified as a security and we can offer it to non-accredited investors. It's also a pretty unique solution for the businesses as they essentially get their inventory fronted to them at no cost, freeing up their cash for other business activities. Would love any feedback on anything, our site is: http://www.kickfurther.com

Hey HN! I left my previous job three months ago, decided to die going broke and homeless building products I loved. I saw some awesome platforms out there, but nothing that really captured how I felt as a builder. I wanted something I could use to share what I'm working on, engage my audience in my building, raise some money, sell the stuff I made, and basically figure out a way to help me keep producing more of what people want.

Hey guys, So we made this site with the goal of funding a lobbyist to represent the 99%. The money comes from small pledges of $5 and up. So far we've raised nearly $10k in under a week. We're focusing fund raising efforts on causes. I'm the founder and lead developer, and I'd love to hear this community's thoughts on the project as well as answer any questions. Thanks guys! http://www.wethelobby.com/

http://cheergram.com Hey there everyone. I have been reading HN a bit here sans there but haven't ever submitted/commented before. (I am a stay at home mom) Anyway I had this idea a while back and had my husband help me build it. I tried to do most of the designs, though some are stock vectors. Anyway I'd love your feedback on anything that will help this business grow. Thanks so much.
