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.”
“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.”
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!”
“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.”
“[Funded Today has] been highly professional and I would definitely recommend [them] to others who ask about a crowd funding solution.”
“When we first launched on Kickstarter, I was scared. So, I brought on Funded Today. Jordan was my Client Specialist and he was able to guide me and help me out throughout the entire process. He even answered my questions at 11:00 PM at night, and weekends, you name it! I really owe my success to Funded Today and the great team behind Funded Today. Now, Ruggy is ranked 18th out of 4,700 live projects on Kickstarter! Thank you, Funded Today!”
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.”

Roost Laptop Stands: Raised $785,724
“Funded Today came onboard after $200,000 and was part of raising an additional $500,000 to reach out final goal of $780,000. They were very communicative and they absolutely were in line with my needs as a creator. Funded Today were extremely good at what they did and they were receptive to strategy ideas I had. They did really well in all aspects. Two thumbs up from me and the Roost Stand.”
“After 40 days, our Kickstarter had $190,000 in pledges. We needed $110,000 more in less than a week to reach our goal. We hired Funded Today and they far surpassed our expectations. We blew past our goal of $300,000 in 5 days.”
“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.”
“Thanks for the help! It has been a great experience working with FT! Very professional!”
“For us, Funded Today’s team of experts tapped into paid audiences that would have taken us far longer to uncover, and accelerated our success in a matter of days.”
The Honest Stand: Raised $29,323
“We appreciate how responsive everyone at Funded Today was and how they were able and willing to put in a big push for us as we came on board with little time left in our campaign. We felt heard and understood, and that our questions were answered thoroughly and in a super timely manner. The clear role distinctions between client specialist, liaison, head advertising director etc. seemed very effective and efficient. Again, even though it didn’t work out this time around, I would have no hesitation in recommending Funded Today services to others considering them.”
“FUNDED TODAY—KING OF CROWDFUNDING”
“We (at the start of the campaign) went out and searched for the best possible marketing agency to partner with. We interviewed a few different agencies—and there’s lots of good ones out there—but we landed on Funded Today because they seemed to have a good grasp on the entire project; they can make your video, they can write your video, they can do your Kickstarter page, they can do PR and paid-media. We were pretty far into the process already, so we had our video done and we had most of our page done, so we selected to do the PR and the paid-media with them. Now, the PR has been awesome—Pascal has done a great job; he’s got us a number of different articles that have shown very good conversion. And, then, the paid-media—Stephanie has done a great job, as well. Now, what you have to understand about the paid-media is it’s a little bit slow in the beginning—they take time to optimize, they want to really find the best bang for your buck—but, once they do, they really start to roll. Stephanie’s done a great job—she kept me in check, which is good. I’d like to thank Funded Today for their hard work.”
“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.”
“You guys are heroes, awesome job.”
“Overall the FT helped the campaign above my expectation.”
Stone Collection: Raised $20,677
“Thanks for the work and the effort you put in our campaign. Even though our cooperation didn’t work out as everyone hoped, we are still glad that we tried working together on this campaign. Now we are happy that we finished it and can start producing our watches—and that was our main goal. We will study your marketing report and hopefully learn our lessons for upcoming projects (be it crowdfunding or online marketing in general). Thanks for your transparent communication and the kind and personal contact here on Skype.”
“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’m extremely grateful to have worked with Funded Today. The biggest thing that stuck out to me is despite being an online or digital service, most of their communication being email, phone and Skype the personal touch that Funded Today has was much more than I expected. I was always able to get a hold of the people assigned to my project. I was also able to speak with the founders of Funded Today one on one. I found that to be very comforting and very professional. After seeing a long history of solid results prior to my campaign and then seeing it with my campaign as well I also suggested the services of Funded Today to other project creators and I’ve seen them deliver time and time again. For those projects. I highly suggest you work with Funded Today don’t hesitate.”
“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.”
“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.”
