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.”
“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!”
“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.”
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.”
“Funded Today is the hottest thing in the Crowdfunding space haha”
“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!”
The Side Winder: Raised $290,211
“We signed on with Funded Today at about $15,000 with about 3 weeks left on the campaign and we ended at around $290,000 dollars raised. We were just under 1,500% of our $20,000 goal! We could not have done it without Funded Today! They have extremely good resources and they know what they are doing when it comes to Kickstarter marketing. A couple of things I really liked about Funded Today was their team. They have an awesome cross collaborations, PR, and Facebook marketing personnel. And so, honestly, they really killed it for us and we’re glad we signed on with them!”
Board Game Truck: Raised S$ 86,430
“Despite being half way across the world, everything was done effectively and timely. We had a good experience”
“The Funded Today team have been awesome to work with on this! Thanks a ton to Funded Today for all their hard work on this! We are excited to push as hard on this final stretch as possible!”
“Around mid-campaign when things usually slow down, we brought in FT to help maintain momentum. We could immediately tell the difference! Our trajectory increased sharply from that point, and finished up very strong at over 1000% funded! When we do our next Kickstarter campaign, we’ll definitely look at bringing on FT at the beginning. They have a proven track record, and I can say we enjoyed working with them.”
“We are extremely pleased with the responsiveness and professional services Funded Today has been providing as you walk us down new pathways that are quite unfamiliar to us.”
“I wanted to give a quick shout-out to Funded Today. They have an amazing marketing team. They did a lead-generation (e-mail) for us, and we worked with them prior to the beginning of our campaign, and that was the best decision we made. Within a couple of hours, we got funded. We had asked for $20,000 and we were—the first day, I think—over $25,000, which was amazing. Just with the lead-generation e-mails, we raised about $35,000. And, today, we’re about $250,000, and six days left to go in our campaign. So, our minds are blown and we can’t thank you guys enough.”
“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.”
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.”
“This is our second time working with Funded Today and we must say that, in both projects that we’ve worked together, it’s been great! The team is really knowledgeable and full of ideas, from keeping us up-to-date on a day-to-day basis on their trial/testing stages to reminding us to get updates ready weekly to engage with our backers. We’ve seen firsthand their scaling ads with great results—the digital marketing team focuses on audiences that matter, that actually can return a result—so, we were really impressed with that. In some instances, that doubled our average pledges in the course of 14 days, almost doubling our total pledged amount. We’ll definitely partner up with them again.”
“Blade of Unagi”: Raised CA $0
“Funded Today was professional and very skilled at what they do. The speed of communication impressed me.”
“In the end there are two heavy weights that are the go to guys. They are FundedToday and Jellop. Both of these companies aren’t cheap but they do get results. . . . We found both of these companies very good at what they do. We found overall FundedToday delivered more results.”
“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 are very happy that we have opportunity to work with Funded Today. We really appreciate their work and affect Funded Today did for us. Unfortunately IGG isn’t going like we wished but we are happy that we together do so great job on Kickstarter!! :D What we appreciate the most is that Funded Today stayed in so close touch through all campaign. They answered on all our questions and treated us like part of their team. And that is wonderful feeling you know! ;) Thank you for everyday updates Jill* and thank you Funded Today for such personal touch and for doing so good and faithfully. We are proud and glad on our decision to choose Funded Today’s services. Sorry guys that we didn’t yet fill our satisfaction survey. We’ll take time and We promise we’ll complete it today or at latest tomorrow! :) And we’d love to work with Funded Today again on our new campaign when we’ll be ready for KIckstarter again :) Thank you from the heart!!! FUNDED TODAY IS AMAZING!”
“I just wanted to take this opportunity to give a shout-out to Funded Today for all the help they provided in order to make our campaign successful. These guys definitely are experts in what they do and have a complete array of tested methods and strategies that they implement and double down on what works best for the brands to give the best ROI. Thanks guys!”
“The end results were rather good. Thanks for the great work and support.”
“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.”
”Take the Trail” Backpacks: Raised $20,458
“It was a great experience but ultimately we did not pass their criteria for continuing on pass the first few days trial and wanted to talk to you about why I would do that again even though we did not continue on with Funded Today. Funded Today was incredibly quick to answer our application and once we had a preliminary talk with them and decided we could work together, they were incredibly quick to get the ads off the ground and running. From the very first day we could definitely see a marked increase of traffic. They were incredibly communicative the whole time. They helped us revamp our landing page. What they claim that they do, they did very well. The reason I would choose Funded Today again would be because they were communicative and there were no empty promises. If I had a different product that was unique enough I would 100% go with Funded Today again but work from the very beginning.”
“Been working with FT for a few years now over several campaigns. Supply them what they need, and they’ll deliver. Would recommend.”
