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.”
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.”

“This is the 2nd time we’ve teamed up with the folks at FUNDED TODAY to boost our Kickstarter campaign and we can say without hesitation ”The are awesome!” In both instances FT gave our projects a BIG push upward, adding thousands of backers and a lot more sales. Without their efforts we would have had only mediocre success on KS, not the over the top record-breaking success they provided. They are real pros at what they do and cover all the bases. Moving ahead, we look forward to working together again—for a 3rd time!”
“We raised below $3.1 million with the help of Funded Today.”
“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.”
“Thanks for the help! It has been a great experience working with FT! Very professional!”
“A huge thank you to Funded Today for making our Product become alive! really amazing!”
”The Hughes” Sunglasses: Raised $214,345
“Really cool experience working with Funded Today. They were really responsive and on time. The whole campaign experience was really good and something we will definitely be doing again.”
“With the help of FundedToday, we made it finally for our project—Titanic X. As the creator of the 4th watch projects, I can say that we were still a begainner on three times before, until we have cooperated with FundedToday this time. According to on past experience, our initial target amount was HK$80K and 40 backers. Under the boost by FT team, the project eventually raised HK$630K and the number was close to 300 backers, which is more than we expected. Exceed nearly 8 times. This made us quite shocked and satisfied with this. Until now, we have just learned how to run a crowdfunding plan. The whole process let me know what TEAMWORK is and the FT team will contact us closely through SKYPE. The team’s individual division of work is quite clear, and each person’s task progress is updated every day, which is quite efficient and transparent. In addition to professional marketing techniques. In some of my major decisions, they will not only provide support but will also guide me and make some professional advices so that I can resolve the problems. If I have a new project in the future, I will definitely continue to cooperate with FT.”
“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!”
JOEY Backpack: Raised $233,656
“We brought Funded Today on about 10 before the end. We really liked that they made contact immediately and got all of our materials. They used those marketing materials for their own campaign. Their communication was open and honest and they were reached easily. They raised a little under $35,000 in roughly 9 days, which spiked the end of our campaign and spiked our campaign and influenced the algorithms on Kickstarter. They really helped our campaign. Funded Today charged a percentage of the profits and while daunting at first, it’s definitely worth out and turned out to be our best decision towards the end of our Kickstarter campaign. The results Funded Today achieved could not be done by anyone else.”
“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.”
“I would strongly advise any one doing a KS or IGG campaign to go with FT.”
“We were so excited when Funded Today agreed to come on board as our marketing partner. They are experts at online marketing and were constantly testing new demographics for us. Funded Today not only helps us reach out minimum goal they got us to $70,000 in pledges in less than two weeks. Our only regret is not bringing them on board sooner. We highly recommend Funded Today.”
Big Skinny Wallets: Raised $158,583
“The real help we got was from Funded Today, which jumped in and I wish we had hired them at the beginning of our campaign. They jumped in midway through the campaign and drove us over to the finish line. I was thrilled to death with Zach the CEO and Co-founder and Thomas’ the Co-founder input because we would have never gotten the numbers that we got without them. We’re thinking about doing something with them after our campaign on a full time basis. We can not recommend them highly enough. You won’t go wrong with going with Funded Today.”
”Period of Comfort” Panties: Raised $109,348
“We worked with Funded Today for our campaign. We raised over $100,000 thanks to them. They are very simple and very easy to work with and they’re very professional. I hope to work with them on our next campaigns.”
“We used FundedToday for our very successful ‘LitraTorch’ campaign on Kickstarter and Indiegogo InDemand. FundedToday helped us dial in our marketing message and drive sales over 600% of our funding target. We highly recommend partnering with FundedToday.”
“Funded Today was flexible and willing to work with us in some of our unique circumstances. Gave good advice throughout our campaign and most importantly delivered results. Every bit of advice that I can recall that Funded Today had given us about what to expect with our campaign based on their experience turned out to be correct. Funded Today was always easy to reach and had numerous calls outside normal business hours. This was very helpful to me as I was still working at my day job and was working on our Kickstarter campaign on nights and weekends. We already had a successful Kickstarter campaign but Funded Today greatly boosted our raise. We engaged other marketing firms and by a wide margin Funded Today delivered the strongest results.”
“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.”
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.”
“Funded Today did a good job for me. I’m sitting in a park right now in Shanghai, China! Now, I’m enjoying an international trip here in a beautiful park. I’ve done two (2) campaigns. The first one I did on my own and I said I’d never do another Kickstarter. It was just that consuming and really a lot of work. It dawned on me a few months later that perhaps with the right team and the right skillset, that maybe it would be worth doing more Kickstarter campaigns as we got going. Funded Today did some advertising tests and they weren’t going well enough so Zach, the CEO and CoFounder of Funded Today, along with Thomas, proposed that we revamp the campaign, redo the video, and change the page design and messaging to be broader. So, we took their recommendation and used them to do those changes for us. We paid for those services. That made all the difference! They turned what would have been a failed $20,000 campaign into about a $185,000 campaign, much different than what I could have brought to the table myself. I wholly endorse Funded Today and their ability to do some big things on the Kickstarter and IndieGoGo crowdfunding platforms.”
“Funded Today did an amazing job on our campaign and we are so happy that we signed on with them.”
“There are only a handful of really significant digital marketing organizations that can help you with crowdfunding. Jordan, of Funded Today, reached out to me quite early on in our campaign. Our campaign was quite small at the time, having only raised $50,000. And, I wasn’t expecting Funded Today to reach out to me, I was expecting it to be the other way around. There’s a lot of great things I could say about Jordan. He’s organized, he’s a great team leader, he’s empathetic, and he’s a very thoughtful person. After the terrorist attack that happened in London, within an hour, he checked to see if I was okay and if my family was well. This was a very endearing touch. The results we had with Funded Today have been really amazing. Before Funded Today, we were going to do $115,000 GBP. I would highly recommend Funded Today to other crowdfunders. I think they are the best in the class. Their work can be enormously impactful. It’s important to not simply rely on Funded Today though. You have to step up to the plate as a project creator and work at their pace… and Funded Today’s pace can be quite quick.”
