Reviews of Funded Today
From Kickstarter & Indiegogo Creators
“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.”
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!”
“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.”
“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.”
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 $113,000. So more than what we would have been able to do on our own.”
“WOW!!! That is AMAZING! Thank you so much for going the extra mile when Funded Today really didn’t have to. We appreciate it so much!”
Merino Tech 2.0: Raised CA$ 156,609
“We worked with Funded Today for just one week and it was a really amazing one week! They helped us more than double our pledges in just one week! We really appreciated their work. And we look forward to another cooperation with Funded Today for our next campaign.”
Wood Phone Cases: Raised CA$ 10,849
“We approached Funded Today pretty well in advance anticipating that they would be able to reach a greater number of backers. Had a pretty good start bringing a ton of traffic to our page. Unfortunately the conversion wasn’t there it was probably due to a number of reasons. They already had systems in place and switched us over to a cross promotions type deal where we were able to keep going on and bring in backers to the campaign. Funded Today was very professional they were always able to answer any of our questions and all and all it was a pretty good experience working with them.”
“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.”
“Such a great team to work with. Quick responses on Skype group chat are golden. They helped me raise over $500,000 on Kickstarter. Something that I once thought impossible. Hire them if you don’t have a dedicated marketing team or lost in the midst of campaign. Thank You, FT!”
MEGA GLAM Hair Curling Wraps: Raised $41,200
“Funded Today helped fund over 2/3 of the campaign. Working with Funded Today gave me complete confidence. They knew the ropes well and gave me terrific guidance with cross collaborations and other methods that they have tried and found true to be successful with Kickstarter campaigns. Working with Funded Today was wonderful they were always prompt and quick to respond to any questions that I might have. I liked working with them because I felt they had a high level of integrity and honesty. I would recommend them hands down over and over they did a terrific job. We’re grateful for their partnership. Would I do another campaign with them? Absolutely.”
“Overall, our Kickstarter campaign (Olarm) raised almost $200,000, so we're very proud of that, especially for our first campaign. We attribute a lot of that effort to the good work that Funded Today did for us.”
“I launched a successful Kickstarter campaign with the help of Funded Today. I used they from the very start of my campaign and overall we raised over $75,000 with a thousand backers. They were always open to chatting whether it be on the phone of Skype. Very open, honest and knowledgable about the ads they were putting in place and the audiences they would select. They were also very open to my feedback on who we should target and different potential options that we could move forward with. Very collaborative. Definitely happy with Funded Today. Definitely would us them again. Would recommend them. They bring in a lot of new backers. If you need help with marketing and that’s not your expertise then go to Funded Today and they can certainly help you out.”
“I’d like to vouch for the character of the guys at Funded Today, particularly Zach Smith, but really the entire time. They are really professional, friendly, and responsive. I had a lot of questions about crowdfunding and they answered everything. They really, genuinely are the experts at what they do. I would trust them with your ”crowdfunding life.” Back to Zach, he’s just super stand-up, he sticks to his word, not only that, he’s very encouraging and inspiring, and an honest guy.”
Breton Backpacks for Professionals: Raised $74,278
“Our first Kickstarter campaign and we hired Funded Today for our marketing and they were phenomenal. They helped us raise $242,000 and there was no way we could have raised that amount of money without their help. We started working with them about a month and a half before we launched our campaign and helped us know that we should push our campaign back and develop more media and develop our campaign more so that they’d be more successful. Just seeing everything they can do and the people constantly working on our campaign and the concern with how it was doing was incredible. I don’t think we could have done any better and couldn’t have had any better managing team then Funded Today. If you’re going to run a Kickstarter campaign use the best, use Funded Today and don’t waste your time.”
“I was contemplating whether I wanted to partner with Funded Today from Day 45 down to Day 18 and I finally made the best decision of my life, and I wish I would have brought them on the minute I heard about them and they reached out to me because they showed me how to have a good, successful Kickstarter campaign and I cannot thank them enough! We ended up raising $561,000 but we also now have over 3,000 customers and over 1,500 new members to our website and we’re now able to upsell those customers with add-ons, that led to another $25,000. We have happy customers because Funded Today got us great new backers as well. They handled all of our cross promotions. You don’t have to handle paying for ads, you don’t have to handle very much PR and Funded Today teaches you that PR is huge, but, that comes with time and you don’t need to be spending too much time with PR when you have a new company. Funded Today will drastically change your campaign because they know what they are doing because they do this every single day. They are also IndieGoGo’s #1 Partner so they can help you out on IndieGoGo-InDemand as well. I want to thank Funded Today. They are great people, they are ethical and value-based and they truly enjoy changing project creators life because they really want us to succeed. Don’t even think about it if you’re considering hiring Funded Today, just do it. If you were to do this on your own, you’re going to have to spend $20,000, maybe even $100,000, just in ads, to reach the goals of what they can do, and they cover all of that ad spend for you, upfront, before you pay them from the funds received from Kickstarter. I’m pumped! My life is changed because of Funded Today. It was incredible. One of our video guys, we’re able to pay him more. We’re hiring ad men now. We have a company now and it’s all because of Funded Today!”
“In our three (3) campaigns on Kickstarter, we’ve raised close to $1,000,000! On our last two (2) campaigns, we actually worked with Funded Today. Funded Today was really easy to work with. They get going and they start working overtime to try to get you all the pledges that you can on your campaign. What’s really good about Funded Today is that they are self-starting, self-automating, and they do their own thing. You don’t have to manage them. You get to sit back and work on others things that you get to focus on as a creator like: Taking care of your community, all of your customer service, and building your brand as much as you can. If you’re a creator and you’ve never done marketing like Facebook advertising before before, during your Kickstarter campaign is probably not the time you want to learn it! You could lose a lot of money. So, what’s great about Funded Today is they take their expertise and turn something that is really complicated into something a lot simpler for you so you can focus on your campaign and your product. All of our projects have been successful and Funded Today has supported us in that and they are really easy to work with!”
The Cubes Pillow: Raised HK$1,382,863
“Funded Today is really amazing! It’s our pleasure to work with such an efficient team. And we do appreciate their effort to make our campaign a big success.”
“We ran a successful Kickstarter campaign and we had initially done all of our marketing in house. We had doubled our initiative objective. When our own returns started to taper off, we engaged Funded Today and they significantly increased our funding, with a nice trajectory, that culminated in about 1,000% of our goal! It’s clear that Zach and Thomas and Funded Today know the best marketing for crowdfunding campaigns.”
Board Game Truck: Raised S$ 86,430
“Despite being half way across the world, everything was done effectively and timely. We had a good experience”
“Funded Today did an amazing job on our campaign and we are so happy that we signed on with them.”
“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.”
The Hydration Shirt: Raised $23,026
“We know Funded Today did their best and they were a pleasure to work with. Extremely diligent and professional. I wish all of the consultants we engaged were as forthcoming!”
