Reviews of Funded Today
From Kickstarter & Indiegogo Creators
“We’ve had a great experience working with Funded Today. Funded Today is the best crowdfunding marketing agency out there. The best… Period. Funded Today reached out to us in August 2015, when we were in the middle of our Kickstarter campaign. We were already at $4 million then and our campaign was slowing down and was at the verge of dying. Our Kickstarter campaign had gone viral initially which led us to raise $3 million in the first 3 weeks and then it got saturated and started to slow down. To cross the $4 million mark it took us to another 2 weeks. Then, we got Funded Today onboard in the 6th week and they reached out to a completely different audience and got another huge wave of traffic our way which helps us add another $4.5 million to our total in the last 3 weeks and our campaign closed at $9.19mn. Our total campaign duration was 8 weeks. Funded Today has got access to thousands of crowdfunding campaigns and they’ve built a community of early adopters out of it. They were able to get our campaign in front of the right audience who are mavens, early adopters of technology and innovative products. We couldn’t have done that using only facebook ads.”
Kodiak Weekender Duffle: Raised $252,311
“These guys are awesome!! We launched a Kickstarter campaign in March of 2017. They helped us raise over $107,000 and we ended up 2145% funded. They under promised and over delivered, and adapted to our project throughout the campaign. They gave me great suggestions on what I could do to improve the campaign and maximize pledges. I would highly recommend them for your crowdfunding project!”
“After I launched Tenikle, I ended up going with Funded Today. It felt like throwing $3k on black with the upfront cost, but I’m really glad I did because the payoff was worth it. You get what you pay for. When talking return on investment, $3k brought me in almost $80k (so far) minus what they take in the end. I think this model works great because they’re incentivized to do as best as possible. I’m a lone-wolf creator and don’t have a team to help me with running ads, so getting someone on board was important to me. If you know what you’re doing, then do it yourself. If your project is good, it will be easily marketed and you’ll do great with them. If it’s not in your budget and your project is iffy, work on getting it dialed before working with any outside marketer. My 2 cents. Hope it helps.”
“3000+ backers pledged $1.37 Million to Cubiio, my first campaign. We could not have achieved it without the help from FUNDED TODAY. They are nice, energetic, aggressive, professional, hard workers. I will hire FUNDED TODAY to promote my next campaign again. It is reasonable to choose a good marketing partner if you aim to Million.”

“With 10 days left we finally hired Funded Today and it was a really good idea. We were on track to maybe hit 50% of our goal and in the end we hit 200%. In 10 days they took our campaign from $7,000 all the way to $40,000 which was awesome. We don’t know what they do but their good at it. We definitely recommend they to people who are serious about getting their product out there. Funded Today know what they’re doing. 100% worth it.”
“We hired Funded Today because our campaign had started to trend downward, like most Kickstarter campaigns. It worked out GREAT for us! We had raised $200K in the first 30 days of our campaign. We hired them for the last 10 days and they were able to raise us an ADDITIONAL $200,000! We ended up raising $400,000, which we were very pleased with and we knew we would not have raised nearly enough had we not gone with Funded Today. The really is no reason to not hire Funded Today, unless you have low margins. It worked out really well for us and I know they would work out great for many other creators as well!”
“We launch our first project and have little experience in crowdfunding. We tried different marketing methods but results are underwhelming. Funded Today contacted us and we decided to give them a try. Jordan, our contact person, maintain great contact. Their whole team is hard working, our questions and suggestions were answered even when late in the night. As for results, the project is doing much better than on our own. Plus we were now able to to focus on product development.”
“We were in the process of trying to set up our Kickstarter campaign and realized that we needed help—a lot of it. We researched a number of companies who work with creators and after settling on our top 3, we proceeded to interviews. Our team was most impressed with the professionalism and follow through at Funded Today. Our project manager is Jordan David and he has been continuously available to help us navigate the numerous pitfals present when getting a successful campaign up and running. He also helped coordinate the other members of the Funded Today team—from getting our video made, to professional product photos, to setting up our landing page, and to developing a pre-launch ad campaign that resulted in an email list that we could use the day of the launch to get off to a fantastic start. During the campaign, Funded Today also helped advise us on best practices for reward levels, updates, and cross promotions. There is no question that our pledge amount would be a fraction of what it is now if we had not been partnered with Funded Today.”
“So, Funded Today overall gained us a lot more exposure and really helped us out after we were plateauing at about day 13. We signed with them with about 20 days to go, and they took our campaign from $20,000 to $60,000 in that time-frame. So, that was really exciting to see and really appreciated.”

“Funded Today is world class. We’ve launched a number of campaigns with them generating 100’s of thousands in sales. The key is having a solid product that resonates in the social spheres. It’s got to be innovative (wow factor). They’ll test for viability and know if they can take it on successfully. If you are a good fit, I guarantee they’ll take you SO MUCH further than you would ever do on your own! The stats don’t lie—over $100M raised across all clients. Why settle for others that have done much less?”
“I used Funded Today for the marketing services and, yeah, I got a good result with them. The best thing was the cross-promotions worked really really really well and also I thought the communication was great. We used Skype and it was just easy to talk with everyone and so everyone responded pretty quickly. So, yeah, I had a good experience using Funded Today and I’d use them again for another crowdfunding project.”

“Despite being half way across the world, everything was done effectively and timely. We had a good experience”
“We had a successful campaign last summer and we partnered with Funded Today about halfway through the campaign. We found Funded Today to be very professional and very experienced in Kickstarter marketing. They helped us generate some very good insights into who our key audiences are. Would I consider working with them again? Yes! The communication was very good. They were flexible in finding a way for us to work together. They were able to drive traffic to our page and generate quite a few sales. Thank you Funded Today.”
“Funded Today is a GREAT!! crowdfunding marketing firm if you’re already converting customers. If you just launched and don’t have any backers yet, they cannot guarantee you anything. Once you have some successful backers they can use that data to target MORE people just like the ones that backed you and Scale it up… Its excellent if you have limited funds or you’re not experienced with marketing on social media. You DO NOT just post your campaign on Kickstarter or Indiegogo and just sit back, raising money. You have to grind and sell like a mad person. They help you do that”
“I am absolutely thrilled with my experience. My only regret is that I didn’t start with them from day one. Their team is very professional, extremely responsive—we kind of created like our own individual Skype channel so that I could post up a question and get an immediate response. I would highly recommend them; if we ever do another campaign, I absolutely would not do it without them.”

“Funded Today is really amazing! It’s our pleasure to work with such an efficient team. And we do appreciate their effort to make our campaign a big success.”
My Lofty Pillow: Raised $97,429
“Funded Today has been on our project for less than a week but they literally made it rain contributions right out of the gate! Their professionalism definitely stands out in a sea of sharks, where inexperienced marketers seek to take advantage of unsuspecting entrepreneurs. With still 19 days left to go in our campaign, our company now has the confidence that our campaign will be a tremendous success, and we can focus on delivering the best travel pillow this world has ever seen. In retrospect, I should have let Funded Today take the reigns from Day 1.”
“Overall, working with Funded Today was a really really comforting experience. And they did so much for us that it really freed us up to focus on other parts of our project. We were able to ‘get the ball rolling’ on a few other things a little bit sooner than we thought we would because we thought that, for the entire 30 days of this Kickstarter, we would be focused on just this—and, so, they helped us out so much in that way. And, so, I’d definitely recommend Funded Today.”

“Eventually we started working with Funded Today and my only regret is that we didn’t start working with them sooner. Not only did Funded Today help us reach our goal but they helped us grow our customer base and triple our funding. Funded Today brought more eyeballs to our website in return lead to more sales.”
“Funded Today did a good job for me. I’m sitting in a park right now in Shanghai, China! Now, I’m enjoying an international trip here in a beautiful park. I’ve done two (2) campaigns. The first one I did on my own and I said I’d never do another Kickstarter. It was just that consuming and really a lot of work. It dawned on me a few months later that perhaps with the right team and the right skillset, that maybe it would be worth doing more Kickstarter campaigns as we got going. Funded Today did some advertising tests and they weren’t going well enough so Zach, the CEO and CoFounder of Funded Today, along with Thomas, proposed that we revamp the campaign, redo the video, and change the page design and messaging to be broader. So, we took their recommendation and used them to do those changes for us. We paid for those services. That made all the difference! They turned what would have been a failed $20,000 campaign into about a $185,000 campaign, much different than what I could have brought to the table myself. I wholly endorse Funded Today and their ability to do some big things on the Kickstarter and IndieGoGo crowdfunding platforms.”
“We met with other folks who have worked with Funded Today and asked if they could do it all over again would they and a vast majority of them said yes they would. We reached out to Funded Today and learned their business model. There would be a 3-7 day validation period where they run a bunch of ads to see if there is some sort of ROI that could make them money and make us money and keep the customers happy. Ultimately we decided to go with Funded Today and very happy we did. Being Entrepreneur it’s about calculated risks and taking Funded Today on as a partner has been a risk I would take over and over again for future crowdfunding campaigns that we do. I’m very pleased with Funded Today and have nothing but positive things to say about them.”
“Our product maik wall frames is about to launch on Kickstarter March 26th 2018. We are working with Funded Today to help with the PR of our kickstarter campaign and they are just fantastic. Because this is our first campaign we have had so many questions that needed answering and Funded Today has been there for us every time we needed help. I’m not sure how we could have been ready for the launch without them. Our client specialist Jordan David has the experience needed to guide us through the set up process and have saved us so much time and energy in explaining what we need to do at each stage. When I read about what advice I could give other Kickstarter creators I felt I should give my experience because there may well be PR companies that offer much more than they actually are able to deliver. Check out what the PR company have actually done for other campaigns and the proof is in the pudding. I chose Funded Today because they have raised over $175,000,00 for creators around the world, I doubt a dodgy company could achieve that and keep doing it day in day out. They have helped with email generation in the pre-launch and have been brilliant at communicating exactly what they will do for us from our launch date. So choose carefully when looking around but we are very happy with our choice. The maik wall frames team.”

“It’s been fun working with Funded Today. They did a great job and were very professional.”
PRVKE Backpacks: Raised $113,697
“We hired Funded Today when we had about two weeks left in the campaign and we just hit our goal of $60,000. With Funded Today’s help we reached $113,000. So more than what we would have been able to do on our own.”
“We have partnered with Funded Today to help us with the campaign on Kickstarter. They have done everything from page-design, even lead-generation, to full marketing service of all the campaign, and we are very pleased with the work that Funded Today has done on all the campaign. So, we can warmly recommend anybody else who has a Kickstarter project or are planning a Kickstarter project to contact Funded Today to get professional help.”
