Kickpay

Kickpay, launched in November 2014 and a participant in Y Combinator’s W15 batch, is a finance platform based in San Francisco, CA, with remote services. The company specializes in providing financing solutions tailored for e-commerce brands. Kickpay’s unique payment model allows clients to repay only when financed units are shipped to customers, effectively enabling businesses to pay for inventory after it sells. The platform leverages clients’ data to grant access to financing and offers features such as unlocking capital tied up in inventory, direct payments to manufacturers, smart servicing and reporting, maximizing loan sizes even when out of stock, and prediction tools for startups. Kickpay connects with over 100 third-party integrations to gather inventory and shipment data and offers a partnership program for 3PLs to provide their clients with access to working capital. The company operates in regions including the United States, America/Canada, and fully remote locations.
