Reviews of Funded Today
From Kickstarter & Indiegogo Creators
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Although your team is incredible on presenting the product, your concern on the small details, that most others might miss is remarkable!”
Thread Wallets: Raised $35,377
“It was more than a pleasure to work with Funded Today. I can tell you straight up that without Funded Today we definitely wouldn’t have been able to raise what we did.”
“Pledges spiked after working with Funded.Today. We made more money in the few days we worked with Funded Today than we made in the 20+ days when we tried to go it alone. Their process took a few days for things to really start working but when the ads started clicking, the change was immediate and noticeable. The service was so great, we have actually already started working with them on our next Kickstarter project.”
Magnet Driver: Raised $114,783
“With Funded Today’s support, we were able to get a total amount of more than 100,000 USD, and their contribution was more than 40-50 percent of the total amount. We were really satisfied with their services.”
“Using Funded Today feels like cheating. We are so happy with the results.”
“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!”
“We did a lot of research in who we were going to hire in marketing and public relations. We saw that Funded Today had an amazing track record of 6 figure and 7 figure campaigns. I hired them two weeks before we launched. They helped consult with us on designing and creating an amazing looking page. They gave us all of their tips and suggestions to make our page very good. Within the first 2 days, we were in the Top 20 of most popular/trending campaigns. And now we’re the #3 most popular/trending campaign! In just the first 7 days, we had already raised $168,000 and we’re tracking to over $500,000! Only 0.7% of campaigns on Kickstarter get to this point. I could not have done this without Funded Today. There is a HUGE team behind us at Funded Today. I will hire them in the future for my next 3 campaigns. I can 100% recommend Funded Today as amazing marketing partners! I give two thumbs up to Funded Today!”
“Funded Today did a fantastic job! Keep up the good work!”
VEIU Doorbell: Raised $265,421
“Funded Today fully managed my campaign. Funded Today helped us on our last campaign as well. On our first campaign, we raised $880,000. The result was amazing! We weren’t as big with our second company, Eques. So, we hired Funded Today. With Funded Today’s help, I felt so relaxed. There were no more sleepless nights, no more overworking hours. Funded Today is the #1 agency I would recommend for a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter or IndieGoGo.”
“We raised below $3.1 million with the help of Funded Today.”
“We used Funded Today for our Kickstarter campaign. They are very professional and clear about what they can and cannot do. Just be sure to read ALL the paperwork they give you so you are also clear on this. We paid the due diligence fee ($3,500) but our ads didn´t convert however we were 100% clear that this could happen so we knew it was a risk. They did however use other forms of marketing to get us $6,400 (£4,730) in pledges. They were an amazing support and source of information during our campaign especially when we encountered a bit of a crisis situation. I would use them again.”
“[T]hank you for being really great! I loved working with Funded Today!! We still love (not past tense) working with Funded Today!”
Pocket Tripod: Raised $178,649
“Don’t waste your marketing budget with anybody else; Funded Today is the best at what they do. They helped me raise over $278,000 on Kickstarter and Indiegogo (goal was $6,000). They have crowdfunding down to a science. But the one thing that stands out for me the most is that Funded Today a team of genuinely good people. They’re honest, and they’re on your side, which is rare these days. I highly recommend them!”
“We heard from a friend that had done a Kickstarter campaign with Funded Today that Funded Today did some pretty incredible work and, so, we got some more information. We were a little bit hesitant at first to work with them just because of the percent that they take, but we raised just over $250,000, which completely blew away our expectations. We are thrilled with the work that they did and haven’t regretted it once.”
“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.”
Magna Carta Playing Cards: Raised $82,271
“I brought Funded Today on because their case studies are just phenomenal. I wanted their expertise on my campaign. I really liked their professionalism. Even though they have a certain business model, how to market and grow a campaign, they had never worked with a playing card campaign before, and they were STILL able to make it possible, despite not knowing certain variables of how prospective customers or backers would react! Without Funded Today, we probably would have stalled. With Funded Today, we were able to have very steady growth, something that I had never seen before with Kickstarter (i.e. most campaigns stall out or plateau in Funding). Exponential growth would have been better! haha, but, I’ll take steady growth any day as well. They were really easy to reach on Skype, all the time. They had a great group chat set-up for me on Skype. After a week of testing, you could sort of feel the effort levels drop a little bit because my campaign did not make them as much profit, perhaps, as others of their really successful campaigns. Overall, I would fully recommend anyone that is doing a design product or technology product to go with Funded Today AS SOON AS POSSIBLE because they have those categories down and they will not disappoint!”
“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 really do appreciate all the help. You have all been more than wonderful and insightful to work with, and I appreciate it greatly. I wish each of you the best 2018 that you can possibly have, and thank you again for all the hard work over this testing period. If I ever do a crowdfunding for any other product again, I will certainly come to you first, and recommend anyone I know who has a crowdfunding campaign to your team.”
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.”
“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.”
“We started talking to Funded Today about midway through the project and out rate of growth was plateauing. We had raised about 117% of our goal then Funded Today managed the second half of the campaign and managed to raise 660% which is a huge, huge growth. Really enjoyed working with them. Their communication was great. They went out of their way to talk to us at the hours that were convenient for us. Which was hugely helpful. I would definitely recommend anybody to work with Funded Today on their campaign.”
