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.”
“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!”
“Worth every penny! Everyone is doing fantastic, I’m so happy all the way around. I love this experience!”
“FUNDED TODAY—KING OF CROWDFUNDING”
“[W]ith the help of Funded Today, we really had a successful campaign. They are result-driven and they are the real deal. Thanks to their customer service, we were able to achieve results and really hit the ball out of the park. And we were super-happy to have used their services. I would definitely use them for our next Kickstarter campaign, and I would definitely recommend any other project creator out there that wants results and wants to boost their Kickstarter campaign.”
“We launched on Kickstarter with the help of Funded Today. They have amazing marketing skills and I recommend them to anybody getting into crowdfunding.”
“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.”
Cold Shoulder 2.0: Raised $53,940
“I just wanted to say that the folks at Funded Today are awesome. It was easy to work with them. They helped me improve my campaign. They helped me copy my campaign from Kickstarter to Indiegogo so we could move over to InDemand creator as soon as the Kicktarter camapign was done. And they’re very communicative and very easy to work with via Skype.”
“We launch our first project and have little experience in crowdfunding. We tried different marketing methods but results are underwhelming. Funded Today contacted us and we decided to give them a try. Jordan, our contact person, maintain great contact. Their whole team is hard working, our questions and suggestions were answered even when late in the night. As for results, the project is doing much better than on our own. Plus we were now able to to focus on product development.”
Garlic Shakers: Raised $50,843
“Funded Today did a really great job at helping us put together a really good paid advertising campaign and lots of other cross promotions with other campaigns. Thanks a lot Funded Today we appreciate you working with us.”
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!”
“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.”
Cortèz Outerwear: Raised €237,227
“Funded Today is one of the bigger crowdfunding agencies in this space, and that’s also one of the reasons why we chose them. We thought they would be very effective in Facebook marketing—one of the primary acquisition-sources within Kickstarter. In the end, they weren’t as effective as we thought but, nevertheless, it was a good experience because they helped us a lot with press outreach and with cross-collaborations. Aside from that, the team is quite effective—they are professional and have a good knowledge of crowdfunding marketing in general, which made it a good overall pleasant 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!”
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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Working with Funded Today was an amazing experience. Honest, Hardworking, Professionals is the best way I can think to describe this group. They know the crowdfunding space and are the best at what they do. When we hit ‘Launch’ on our campaign they took over all things marketing and we were able to focus on the manufacturing of our product and responding to our backers questions. It made our campaign an enjoyable and ‘mostly’ stress free experience. We highly recommend working with them.”
“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.”
“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 $400,000, which we were very pleased with and we knew we would not have raised nearly enough had we not gone with Funded Today. The really is no reason to not hire Funded Today, unless you have low margins. It worked out really well for us and I know they would work out great for many other creators as well!”
Computer Vision A-Z: Raised AU$ 87,294
“FundedToday. I will begin by mentioning the facts: Their business model is a no-brainer: due diligence fee aside, they use their share from the earnings from ads to fund more ads. If you believe in your product, then it’s a virtuous cycle. They have access to lots of Kickstarter audiences—and I mean many audiences- something we don’t have as creators. If you add their expertise in what-works-where, how and when, you’ll know that your campaign is being guided in the right direction. In addition to this, they have the true marketing wizards on their team. If you combine this with a whole lot of proactivity and ingenuity from their side, you can be sure that your campaign will pop up to the right people, at the right time and in the right way. We’ve worked together in all of our 3 Kickstarter campaigns, all totaling 478k AUD (374k USD). And one after the other, we kept coming back to them. But the most important fact worth mentioning is the value of the people who are a part of this team. They are all professional, straightforward, trustworthy and above all transparent individuals. In a couple of times, we faced some crucial decisions that we had to make, and due to our inexperience in the field we didn’t know what the right move was, but we turned to FundedToday. And every single time, Lisa, Dan and everyone else we’ve worked with, have guided us in the right direction and have always put out interests first. Even ahead of Funded Today’s. That is, perhaps, the biggest reason that has kept us coming back and will continue to do so as our mutual trust strengthens.”
“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.”
“We were in the process of trying to set up our Kickstarter campaign and realized that we needed help—a lot of it. We researched a number of companies who work with creators and after settling on our top 3, we proceeded to interviews. Our team was most impressed with the professionalism and follow through at Funded Today. Our project manager is Jordan David and he has been continuously available to help us navigate the numerous pitfals present when getting a successful campaign up and running. He also helped coordinate the other members of the Funded Today team—from getting our video made, to professional product photos, to setting up our landing page, and to developing a pre-launch ad campaign that resulted in an email list that we could use the day of the launch to get off to a fantastic start. During the campaign, Funded Today also helped advise us on best practices for reward levels, updates, and cross promotions. There is no question that our pledge amount would be a fraction of what it is now if we had not been partnered with Funded Today.”
