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.”
“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!”
BASICS Wallet: Raised $171,315
“We were able to successfully raised $171,000 … definitely with the help of Funded Today. We could not have done it without them. The biggest thing I learned while working with Funded Today: Their marketing seems like magic sometimes! All they need is a great product and they can do all of the rest. The team at Funded Today is honest and hard-working. We had a lot of trust in them and did not have to worry about the little details. Overall, I’d highly recommend working with Funded Today. We had a great experience!”
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.”
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.”
Breton Backpacks for Professionals: Raised $74,278
“Our first Kickstarter campaign and we hired Funded Today for our marketing and they were phenomenal. They helped us raise $242,000 and there was no way we could have raised that amount of money without their help. We started working with them about a month and a half before we launched our campaign and helped us know that we should push our campaign back and develop more media and develop our campaign more so that they’d be more successful. Just seeing everything they can do and the people constantly working on our campaign and the concern with how it was doing was incredible. I don’t think we could have done any better and couldn’t have had any better managing team then Funded Today. If you’re going to run a Kickstarter campaign use the best, use Funded Today and don’t waste your time.”
“The experience with the Funded Today Team has been a dream. The team members have been responsive, knowledgeable, and have been a pleasure to work with.”
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.”
“Ever since we signed on to Funded Today, literally the sales and everything, the funding has just gone skyrocket. The cross-promotions, everything they’ve been doing for us is just brilliant, so we’re more than thankful for them.”
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!”
“A huge thank you to Funded Today for making our Product become alive! really amazing!”
“To the entire Funded Today Team: THANK YOU!!! Funded Today was great and we really appreciate them being so flexible with the deal structure. We know it’s not something they typically do. We’re very happy with the results and will be creating the testimonial video soon.”
“With the help of Funded Today, we raised over $1,000,000 on Kickstarter. Was it worth it to work for Funded Today? In our experience, you can say it was well worth it! They helped us raise over $700,000 of that money. Everything they do is transparent and they really kept us in the loop.”
Wood Phone Cases: Raised CA$ 10,849
“We approached Funded Today pretty well in advance anticipating that they would be able to reach a greater number of backers. Had a pretty good start bringing a ton of traffic to our page. Unfortunately the conversion wasn’t there it was probably due to a number of reasons. They already had systems in place and switched us over to a cross promotions type deal where we were able to keep going on and bring in backers to the campaign. Funded Today was very professional they were always able to answer any of our questions and all and all it was a pretty good experience working with them.”
“Worth every penny! Everyone is doing fantastic, I’m so happy all the way around. I love this experience!”
“Funded Today generated $115,111 in pledges for our Kickstarter project. We also used about 3 other companies who said they’d generate pledges for us, but we didn’t see any results from them. Funded Today actually generated pledges. We could see & track the pledges coming in on our Kickstarter dashboard. We’re very happy with the results!”
“The experience of working with Funded was amazing. They kept us updated with our marketing status on a daily basis, such as the e-mail leads we collected and updated funding amount. And they really worked together as a strategic online marketing team with expertise on different apects of e-marketing. Furthermore, they have been so helpful in terms of providing additional marketing solutions for us. Yeah, in general, I would highly recommend them as your marketing team.”
Qi Aerista: Raised HK$ 1,343,877
“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 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!”
“We expected to work with professionals and we were pleased to find that to be true.”
“The end results were rather good. Thanks for the great work and support.”
“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.”
“Funded Today’s Creative Services division redid my video. The first one I did just wasn’t quite there. They also redid my page design, my story, and my entire Kickstarter campaign. I was about going to do $15,000 with my own projections, but with Funded Today’s help, my campaign did $225,000, to date. Largely, this is because of the rework they did for me. I wholeheartedly recommend their services and feel that they do a superior, professional job and definitely know what they are doing with crowdfunding campaigns.”
“We knew from the start that we wanted help marketing our campaign—we have a killer product and we are serious about bringing it to market professionally and successfully. We started out with a firm who seemed promising, once we learned about Funded Today it was a no-brainer to engage their services. While we didn’t feel at all scammed by the first firm, Funded Today brought an unparalleled depth and breadth of experience and resources to the table. FT’s business model is brilliantly simple: they thoroughly and methodically test a campaign to determine if it will be profitable. If it is, then they invest their own money, optimally advertising the campaign for maximum return. Their success formula is a juggernaut, where your success and their success are in complete alignment. Even though we only passed the validation stage, we are already seeing a very strong return from FT’s efforts. They’ve been highly communicative, professional and a joy to work with. While I’m not sure what the remaining two weeks will bring, I do feel confident that we bet on the right horse. Feel free to reach out to me directly if you'd like to know more.”
