Kickfurther has announced a few updates including a new credit card funding limit of $500 at a time. This makes Kickfurther far less interesting to me. Let’s hope they roll this back!

KF is becoming very risky, highly opaque and not investor friendly management. I would not be surprised if they came down and brought down quite a lot of investors with them. I am not putting any new money into them any more. Just keeping my fingers crossed that I am able to get my capital out.
Are you seeing anyone pushing back on this change?
It might not come through until we actually get new high-value coops. There are coops with packages higher than the $500 limit, where it would be completely out of reach.
Do you think contributing twice separately with 2 different cards will work?
I’ve done all mine between $100 and $300. I’ve been pretty picky about what I’ve backed and still have two failures and a few more who are late, but I expect to see payment from eventually.
So, at least by spreading out the risk, my successful co-ops should pay for my failures and I’ll break even.
