Hi Warren,
Definitely a pyramid scheme here. I don't see any value given by the website pretty much, and the monthly membership is crazily expensive.

From your review, I just don’t see a product being offered for your $149 other that a plan to get others to fork over $149. If you are constantly in search of new members to keep this thing going, the is really is a pyramid scheme. No new members and everything collapses. Thanks for the warning. I’m steering clear.

Hey Lynne,
That’s why I couldn’t find your video anymore. Bummer. If they had to send you Lawyer’s letter instead of proving you wrong, it says a lot about what they are doing. Hope that they didn’t take any further actions against you!

Hey Terence 🙂 I wish my video was still on Youtube and my review on my website but they sent me lawyers letters…

A shameful bullying tactic since my review on my website was #1 on Google and so was my Youtube video lol, seems they felt just a tad bit threatened by my review.

Anyway, glad to see there are lots of people that do in fact see through this sham.

I'm pretty sure it's still alive because it's under the illusion of crowdfunding like you mentioned, but it's still a MLM overall the way I look at it.

This is a total scam. I looked into Smashfund about 6 months ago when they were having a new launch of their latest version. It was under the illusion of “Crowdfunding”, which I soon found out it had absolutely nothing to do with. And it’s so freakin’ It’s just a revenue sharing site under the guise of using social media for Crowdfunding purposes so they can side-step legalities. expensive!

Thanks for your review… and I am with the ladies above… I love the concept of crowdfunding and equity crowdfunding. Having ongoing access to a platform that costs millions of dollars to develop saves me the need to go out and do it all myself. While Kickstarter and Indigogo have been around for 8 years, and of course have the market share, there are things that I rather not do… Am I too lazy? Yes. Does it feel like I am doing all of the marketing and giving up all of my email addresses to them? Yes. Does that make them a scam? No. The difference is apples to oranges. By having the “option” to enroll people in my crowd and get paid for it unlike Facebook (does that make fb a scam? No.), I can monetize my mailing list instead of giving it away for free. Only a small number of crowdfunding or either of the majors get funded. Does that make any of them a scam? No. Smashfund is a different model, and whenever something new comes along, people for whatever reason want to bash it. Well I say SMASH IT! As a former CFO VP Admin for a New York Stock Exchange Company.. I am putting my money where my mouth is… Women.Fund … Have a great day!

In reply to Elle. Hi Elle, Thanks for sharing with me what you know about Smashfund. My stance still remains the same, and with the platform just recently launched I'm not too sure what I can make out of the whole situation as of now. Hopefully, it turns out something to be of good.

I know one of the top people in Smashfund. We asked all the questions and MORE that you posted here. After major due diligence we were delightfully surprised.

First, pyramid’s are illegal.
Second, in order for a referral company, such as Smashfund to be legal, they must provide a product; their product is the oppty to raise money for a cause, mission or something you are passionate about.
In order to stay receive money you have to invest money; the $149.
However, for every personal link you send, you receive $50 – with just 3 personal referrals, you’ll pay for that $149; which by the way you get paid weekly.
If, in fact, you are really interested in making a difference; an impact in the world this platform will work really well.
Also, I’m not sure you could get a whole lot of info (unless you are Rob Towles) or the people I know who are right near him in this venture; because quite honestly the platform just launched August 1, 2016.
