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.”
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!”
“Overall the FT helped the campaign above my expectation.”
“Thanks for the help! It has been a great experience working with FT! Very professional!”
“We expected to work with professionals and we were pleased to find that to be true.”
“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.”
“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 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.”

“It’s been fun working with Funded Today. They did a great job and were very professional.”
“We used Funded Today on our latest Kickstarter campaign where we launched the world’s first custom-molded wireless earphones, Decibulz. We had a great experience working with Funded Today. They are extremely experienced, they only required a few thousand dollars of upfront capital initially to get going, which was really important for our new project and our new company. They were extremely professional, their ads were extremely effective, and they helped us soar waaay past our inital goal. They are good guys! You can’t go wrong with Funded Today.”
“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.”
“Such a great team to work with. Quick responses on Skype group chat are golden. They helped me raise over $500,000 on Kickstarter. Something that I once thought impossible. Hire them if you don’t have a dedicated marketing team or lost in the midst of campaign. Thank You, FT!”
“Thanks to Funded Today’s support we were about to get the stabilizer flash shell funded. We were really excited to get this project off the ground and Funded Today made that all possible. The only regret is not using them sooner. It was incredible to see the difference from where we were to the moment we brought them on board just skyrocketed our pledges in the last week or so. I highly recommend working with Funded Today we plan on using them for future campaigns as well and future product ideas and using them from the very beginning. It was very helpful to have their insight and tips to make our product listing page better but also to have their expertise to bring on the right customers who were looking for our product was wonderful. Thank you Funded Today. None of this would have been possible without Funded Today and their incredible work.”

“Overall it was a very good experience. We saw the potential in the collaboration results from other Kickstarter campaigns and so we thought it was a good choice with Funded Today. The team was very helpful and responsive. Thanks Funded Today for your help!”
“Our product maik wall frames is about to launch on Kickstarter March 26th 2018. We are working with Funded Today to help with the PR of our kickstarter campaign and they are just fantastic. Because this is our first campaign we have had so many questions that needed answering and Funded Today has been there for us every time we needed help. I’m not sure how we could have been ready for the launch without them. Our client specialist Jordan David has the experience needed to guide us through the set up process and have saved us so much time and energy in explaining what we need to do at each stage. When I read about what advice I could give other Kickstarter creators I felt I should give my experience because there may well be PR companies that offer much more than they actually are able to deliver. Check out what the PR company have actually done for other campaigns and the proof is in the pudding. I chose Funded Today because they have raised over $175,000,00 for creators around the world, I doubt a dodgy company could achieve that and keep doing it day in day out. They have helped with email generation in the pre-launch and have been brilliant at communicating exactly what they will do for us from our launch date. So choose carefully when looking around but we are very happy with our choice. The maik wall frames team.”
“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.”

“We made the prototype and got Funded Today engaged early on. Chandler, a Client Specialist at Funded Today, was extremely helpful with lots of suggestions and tips on what to improve on how to make a good Kickstarter page and create a great video. Funded Today started advertising and promoting our campaign from the very beginning and delivered a really good result 30 days later. They provided us with frequent updates of what was going on, suggested what tweaks to make on the Kickstarter page, how to improve the results, and went well beyond just pure marketing and promotion. Compared to a lot of other similar company out there, it would look that Funded Today is the best out there. They cover such a rich array of services and provide so many different bits of advice and help on Kickstarter and on getting funding. A really good sign is that Zach Smith, the CEO and CoFounder of Funded Today, is still dipping in and out, here and there, and providing fairly hands-on advice and help throughout the campaign. And that’s always a really good sign of any company where the CEO and Founder still does that. I definitely really recommend Funded Today’s crowdfunding services if you’re thinking about it.”
"Book of Psalms": Raised $66,494
“We’ve been working with Funded Today for a couple of days now, and it’s been super-awesome. We didn’t know what to expect. Two thousand dollars—where would that go? But they’ve totally surprised me—just the amount of attention that they’ve given to our project. The amount of communication that they’ve had has been really awesome. We’ve launched a Kickstarter before and, so, this has helped us a lot—comparing how we did the last one, Funded Today has been so much better.”
“I would strongly advise any one doing a KS or IGG campaign to go with FT.”
“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.”
“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.”
