Reviews of Funded Today
From Kickstarter & Indiegogo Creators
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’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.”
“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.”
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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Using Funded Today feels like cheating. We are so happy with the results.”
“Great experience. Would recommend.”
“Blade of Unagi”: Raised CA $0
“Funded Today was professional and very skilled at what they do. The speed of communication impressed me.”
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.”
“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!”
“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 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 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.”
Born To Fly Baby: Raised AU $35,472
“Thank you so much for all of Funded Today’s efforts. Funded Today’s conclusions also align with our own efforts, although the click through rate that Jill achieved was higher than ours so we know Funded Today has been doing a fabulous job :-) The unexpected thing we found is that the product is wildly popular, but that it is not suited to crowdfunding. It is better placed in the retail/commercial sales world. Fortunately, we have had great success in this area and are currently in negotiations regarding signing on with Australia’s largest carseat and stroller brand, and have all but secured massive distribution agreements with Scandinavia, South Korea and the Middle East—which has a lucrative potential well beyond what we anticipated. Thank you for providing a great service, and if we have any more products more suited to the Kickstarter platform in the future, we will be sure to repeat the same process with Funded Today again.”
Easy Life Belt MAGNETIC: Raised $92,395
“We are very happy that we have opportunity to work with Funded Today. We really appreciate their work and affect Funded Today did for us. Unfortunately IGG isn’t going like we wished but we are happy that we together do so great job on Kickstarter!! :D What we appreciate the most is that Funded Today stayed in so close touch through all campaign. They answered on all our questions and treated us like part of their team. And that is wonderful feeling you know! ;) Thank you for everyday updates Jill* and thank you Funded Today for such personal touch and for doing so good and faithfully. We are proud and glad on our decision to choose Funded Today’s services. Sorry guys that we didn’t yet fill our satisfaction survey. We’ll take time and We promise we’ll complete it today or at latest tomorrow! :) And we’d love to work with Funded Today again on our new campaign when we’ll be ready for KIckstarter again :) Thank you from the heart!!! FUNDED TODAY IS AMAZING!”
Notebook Wallets: Raised $62,163
“Funded Today is world class. We’ve launched a number of campaigns with them generating 100’s of thousands in sales. The key is having a solid product that resonates in the social spheres. It’s got to be innovative (wow factor). They’ll test for viability and know if they can take it on successfully. If you are a good fit, I guarantee they’ll take you SO MUCH further than you would ever do on your own! The stats don’t lie—over $100M raised across all clients. Why settle for others that have done much less?”
“We had a pleasant experience with Funded Today. The benefits of working with them were amazing, and we are very glad to have taken this decision. First of all, they were very good and quick in reaching the right audience for Percko, which was crucial for the successful of the marketing campaign. The first impression of the percentage they take it’s probably not the best, but after all it’s worth due to the incredible amount of new backers they bring you. Our page had visitors all the time from locations we could not have reached alone. Funded Today was able to raise incredible 50.000 euros for us in 18 days! Also, when making the agreements Curtis was very flexible and attentious with us, simplifying things and turning into a deal where both parties would benefit. Funded Today have a very good experience with crowdfunding campaigns and a large portfolio of very successful campaigns.”
“Before we signed up with them, I read some reviews of them. I was scared, of course, by some of the bad reviews—but, again, I was like… There will always be bad reviews of services and maybe partcularly of crowdfunding services because it’s not only about how these guys are working and how good they are—it’s also about the kind of project that they’re working with. So, what I did was that I took randomly some of the bad reviews, I researched a bit to find out what kind of project those creators had made and what kind of product they have, and I just found that most of these bad reviews were based on products that I didn’t really believe in, myself—so, maybe it wasn’t that much about how Funded Today was working, but more about the project that wasn’t super super for Kickstarter or crowdfunding, anyway. So, that gave me some comfort and, with the communication with the team, I felt relatively safe that we should go into it. We have been working with them for four days now. We have six days left, so it’s a relatively short period that we are working with them. What we have seen is that they have spent a lot of time analyzing until now—not a lot of results. But, yesterday, things started to explode, and we see the same trend today. So, for us, their method seems super-solid. They have tons of different levels that they’re working with—PR, Cashback systems, all these kind of things. And, of course, the ads. For us, it’s working—it’s super-nice. I recommend it.”
“I’m very happy with what Funded Today has done and they always informed me about what they were doing and what the next step is which is just great.”
“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.”
Premium Boxer Briefs: Raised $142,672
“We got in touch with the people over at Funded Today. Luckily, they were able to gather up something really quickly with 5 days left of the campaign. They managed to do something pretty spectacular. Pretty exponential growth had they had more time they would have gathered a whole lot more. They managed to pass all other source of traffic and referral traffic. Pretty amazing work. Highly recommend these guys.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
