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.”
“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 $107,000 and we ended up 2145% funded. They under promised and over delivered, and adapted to our project throughout the campaign. They gave me great suggestions on what I could do to improve the campaign and maximize pledges. I would highly recommend them for your crowdfunding project!”
“We ran a successful Kickstarter campaign and we had initially done all of our marketing in house. We had doubled our initiative objective. When our own returns started to taper off, we engaged Funded Today and they significantly increased our funding, with a nice trajectory, that culminated in about 1,000% of our goal! It’s clear that Zach and Thomas and Funded Today know the best marketing for crowdfunding campaigns.”
“We want to thank Funded Today for helping us reach our Kickstarter goal. They were easy to work with and had a professional approach. We also understood that they were methodological in dealing with challenges that arose. Thanks to Funded Today’s services, we saw a dramatic surge in traffic and popularity for our Kickstarter campaign. Jordan David, our client manager, was also very friendly and communicative. Overall, it was a good experience.”
“It has been great working with Jordan and Funded Today. Jordan has answered any message at any time of day which has been great and over the top. He responds to all forms of communication (Skype, Google, Email, & FB). He makes time for face calls and answers all questions to completion. I would recommend Jordan and Funded Today to anyone.”
Merino Tech 2.0: Raised CA$ 156,609
“We worked with Funded Today for just one week and it was a really amazing one week! They helped us more than double our pledges in just one week! We really appreciated their work. And we look forward to another cooperation with Funded Today for our next campaign.”
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.”
“Funded Today landed us in the Top 10 on all of Kickstarter! We went from 14th to 3rd and remained in the Top 5 throughout our marketing campaign with Funded Today. It truly was an awesome finish! Funded.Today has a super-power and it’s marketing Kickstarter projects. They took on our project with only 3 and 1/2 days left and doubled our funding. They delivered what they said they would—even though I did not think it was possible. Plus, they are great guys to work with which is a bonus. From the first impression I got on their website all the way through to their quality of service, Funded Today attracts the highest quality projects. From a prospective client/customer perspective, I especially like the ‘how you do it’ video and portion of your website. I think is key to increasing credibility and allaying prospects’ unspoken fears, especially given most kickstarter creators have a high level of skepticism because they have been approached by so many people who promise to deliver X, but who really actually suck at what they do. Without saying how you do it, someone might be left with the suspicion that you engage in some ‘black hat’ type methods to drive traffic. Funded Today is the real deal!”
“We reached out to Funded Today who after 5 days of marketing ended up holding the reigns of our marketing. Funded Today helped us double our pledges. Leaving us 600% funded and we raised $62,000 in total. Funded Today really knows what they are doing and I highly recommend them.”
“Your business went above and beyond what I expected, extremely professional!”
Qi Aerista: Raised HK$ 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.”
Force Field Cloaks: Raised $241,681
“A lot of negative press has been out there about Funded Today and how they’re a scam and all they do is take your money and run—and, when I first approached Funded Today, I had the same fears and hesitations and chose not to work with them. But I have since started my campaign and, at 10 days in, decided to partner with them. And the question I think everyone considering working with Funded Today needs to ask themselves is: ‘Do I have a good product? Do I have my product presented well?’ And, if the answer is ‘yes’ to both those questions, I believe you should partner with Funded Today. The direction I took before hiring Funded Today was hiring an expert in the field and spending my own money—and I had some good results, but not very many. But, since working with Funded Today, the results we’ve been able to create together amazed even my own expectations. It was the best decision I ever made. The worst decision I ever made in this campaign was not working with them from the onset, because I know I’d be a lot larger than I am sitting here today with 8 days left.”
Roost Laptop Stands: Raised $785,724
“Funded Today came onboard after $200,000 and was part of raising an additional $500,000 to reach out final goal of $780,000. They were very communicative and they absolutely were in line with my needs as a creator. Funded Today were extremely good at what they did and they were receptive to strategy ideas I had. They did really well in all aspects. Two thumbs up from me and the Roost Stand.”
“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.”
“A week before we launched our campaign, we got Funded Today onboard. With their help we were able to raise around $200,000. Their invaluable experience in crowdfunding helped us a lot. Funded Today will definitely be our first choice for a crowdfunding marketing agency or partner if we choose to launch another campaign.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
“[T]hank you for being really great! I loved working with Funded Today!! We still love (not past tense) working with Funded Today!”
“Although your team is incredible on presenting the product, your concern on the small details, that most others might miss is remarkable!”
“So, Funded Today overall gained us a lot more exposure and really helped us out after we were plateauing at about day 13. We signed with them with about 20 days to go, and they took our campaign from $20,000 to $60,000 in that time-frame. So, that was really exciting to see and really appreciated.”
“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.”
