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.”
“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.”
“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.”

“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 it was a very good experience. We saw the potential in the collaboration results from other Kickstarter campaigns and so we thought it was a good choice with Funded Today. The team was very helpful and responsive. Thanks Funded Today for your help!”
“You guys are nice. We’ve worked with other FB Ad specialists who all had horror stories to tell about you guys. But we found working with FT very professional. Our business and yours spoke the common language of being data driven.”
“[Funded Today] helped us make a really compelling video that I think contibuted to the success of our project. And, then, … they hooked us up with a web designer who was really instrumental in creating a great Kickstarter page. We were really thrilled with both of those. And we found everyone that interacted with at Funded Today to be very responsive and also very professional. As for the campaign itself, we worked directly with a marketing specialist who signed our product and he was very communicative—kept us informed on what was happening with our different ad strategies, what was working, was wasn’t working, what adjustments we needed to make. So, we were very happy with the communication he gave us and the overall success of getting backers to support our project. We reached over twice our funding goal and had over 300 backers, which (for our small project) we were really thilled with.”

“We would like to share with you our appreciation for Funded Today’s efforts in helping our Kickstarter campaign. We brought in Funded Today late in our campaign and we’re excited to see the additional funding support from Funded Today’s efforts. The additional support helped move our project forward tremendously. In the future, we would not hesitate in working with Funded Today again for a subsequent crowdfunding campaign.”
“I want to give my stamp of approval—there’s no way that I could have gotten to 300% of my overall goal without using Funded Today. So, you should definitely consider using them. And good luck with your campaign. And they should definitely help you with reaching the goal that you ultimately want to obtain—and that is to make your product or service a reality.”
“Using Funded Today feels like cheating. We are so happy with the results.”
“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.”
“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!”

“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.”
“FT is professional. You have a scientific method to help creators. This is really a surprise to us. And this definitely give us a confidence to FT.”
“My experience with Funded Today has been phenomenal. I would highly recommend it. My advice would be to figure out if your campaign can afford it—look at the margins on your products and, then, if you do have high-enough margins, and you have the capital to be able to invest in it, I would say 100% ‘go for it.’ Without Funded Today, we would not have made our target—we would for sure not have made our goal—and we’ve surpassed it and we still have 6 days left in the campaign. The communication has been my favorite part—there’s been excellent commuinication. The whole team is really working with us and letting us know what’s going on at all times. So, overall, I give Funded Today two thumbs-up and I would recommend it highly.”
“First off they are easily reachable so communication was good. Between them and us communication was good and were quick to reply. Seemed like nice enough guys and were really easy to talk to. When the campaign ended there were no surprises they were upfront in what the contract had in it. We were between $50k and 60k when we originally signed with them and we had a few weeks left in our campaign. We ended with just under $100k and so they definitely helped us get up there. I really liked with them is they were really easy to track. They made it really easy to track and see where all the different sources of money were coming from and we really liked that.”

“Thank you so much for all of Funded Today’s efforts. Funded Today’s conclusions also align with our own efforts, although the click through rate that Jill achieved was higher than ours so we know Funded Today has been doing a fabulous job :-) The unexpected thing we found is that the product is wildly popular, but that it is not suited to crowdfunding. It is better placed in the retail/commercial sales world. Fortunately, we have had great success in this area and are currently in negotiations regarding signing on with Australia’s largest carseat and stroller brand, and have all but secured massive distribution agreements with Scandinavia, South Korea and the Middle East—which has a lucrative potential well beyond what we anticipated. Thank you for providing a great service, and if we have any more products more suited to the Kickstarter platform in the future, we will be sure to repeat the same process with Funded Today again.”
“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.”
“The first week of Kickstarter went really well as we were able to tap into our friends and family network and then we started to kind of plateau and our daily pledges really weren’t that great so we reached out to Funded Today and they were very responsive. Everything was pretty much through email and then their Client Skype group. They were very honest with us about doing the Product Validation and Due Diligence Period and seeing if they could find some ad sets that would convert to pledges. After those first 5-7 days, we were excited because they took us on! And, at first, we weren’t really sure, because that 5-7 days they aren’t really scaling at that time so you do see your pledges go up but it’s not like anything that is out of the ordinary and we weren’t really sure they were going to take us on because I think they only take on like 40-50% of the people who go to them and pay that money during the Product Validation and Due Diligence Phase. But we understood that risk and we were really excited when we passed the first initial tests. Then, they scaled our campaign after the Product Validation and Due Diligence Period. They had originally told us that we were only to raise $25,000 based upon our $8,200 goal and we were going to be really happy about that because that was going to pay back a lot of our costs and that would really show that we had something and that people/backers would actually buy our product. So, when we saw our pledge count at the end of our 45 day campaign reach $60,000, we were more than ecstatic! Again, the process at Funded Today, I call it ‘MAGICAL’ because they really do things that I have no idea how they get the pledges and conversions they do, but we were really ecstatic to see the pledges go up and we were ecstatic to see the results that we saw. They were very honest and diligent about helping us to make some changes on our campaign that would help us. I cannot say enough about Funded Today. It’s nice when you kind of think something is going to turn out the way it does and then it actually does and Funded Today really helped us do what we were trying to accomplish. We’re really excited about the end results. So, I would recommend Funded Today to anybody but there are always risked involved with whatever company you partner with and everybody offers you everything when you are on Kickstarter and all of these people come out of the woodwork and promise you how they can help you grow your Kickstarter campaign but honestly, Funded Today really was able to do that. Thanks again to Funded Today!”
“Funded Today is a crowdfunding agency with a good reputation having been very successful with other campaigns. We partnered with them shortly after our campaign launched. I found their help to be very rewarding. I know at times there were up to 4-5 people at Funded Today, working live on our campaign, researching various avenues to market our product! They doubled, perhaps even more, the amount of campaign contributions received. We raised enough money with Funded Today’s help to meet our delivery dates. I’m sure that we would use Funded Today again.”
“The experience of working with Funded was amazing. They kept us updated with our marketing status on a daily basis, such as the e-mail leads we collected and updated funding amount. And they really worked together as a strategic online marketing team with expertise on different apects of e-marketing. Furthermore, they have been so helpful in terms of providing additional marketing solutions for us. Yeah, in general, I would highly recommend them as your marketing team.”
“FUNDED TODAY—KING OF CROWDFUNDING”
Rever Vant Clipfolds: Raised $60,338
“We raised about $60,000 thanks to Funded Today’s efforts. These guys are very experienced at what they do. If you’re looking to launch a Kickstarter or IndieGoGo campaign I would definitely consider working with Funded Today to take your project to the next level. Will I consider working with Funded Today again? Oh yeah, most definitely! Thank you, Funded Today, I really appreciate it.”
“Funded Today joined us about a fortnight before the project ended. In general, we were positively surprised about the professionalism, and the communication went fast and fluently. They also kept us perfectly aware about the next steps, and all the costs involved were communicated transparently. The team was always at our side—it was always easy to reach if we had any questions.”
“We would work with you again, 100%.”
