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!”
“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.”
“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.”
Forever Flask: Raised £102,970
“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.”
“We decided to utilize Funded Today’s skill set to help give out campaign a boost. The team was incredibly professional to work with and did a great job for us. I felt that the transparency was great and they were open in everything they were doing.”
“I was contemplating whether I wanted to partner with Funded Today from Day 45 down to Day 18 and I finally made the best decision of my life, and I wish I would have brought them on the minute I heard about them and they reached out to me because they showed me how to have a good, successful Kickstarter campaign and I cannot thank them enough! We ended up raising $561,000 but we also now have over 3,000 customers and over 1,500 new members to our website and we’re now able to upsell those customers with add-ons, that led to another $25,000. We have happy customers because Funded Today got us great new backers as well. They handled all of our cross promotions. You don’t have to handle paying for ads, you don’t have to handle very much PR and Funded Today teaches you that PR is huge, but, that comes with time and you don’t need to be spending too much time with PR when you have a new company. Funded Today will drastically change your campaign because they know what they are doing because they do this every single day. They are also IndieGoGo’s #1 Partner so they can help you out on IndieGoGo-InDemand as well. I want to thank Funded Today. They are great people, they are ethical and value-based and they truly enjoy changing project creators life because they really want us to succeed. Don’t even think about it if you’re considering hiring Funded Today, just do it. If you were to do this on your own, you’re going to have to spend $20,000, maybe even $100,000, just in ads, to reach the goals of what they can do, and they cover all of that ad spend for you, upfront, before you pay them from the funds received from Kickstarter. I’m pumped! My life is changed because of Funded Today. It was incredible. One of our video guys, we’re able to pay him more. We’re hiring ad men now. We have a company now and it’s all because of Funded Today!”
“I would strongly advise any one doing a KS or IGG campaign to go with FT.”
“We heard from a friend that had done a Kickstarter campaign with Funded Today that Funded Today did some pretty incredible work and, so, we got some more information. We were a little bit hesitant at first to work with them just because of the percent that they take, but we raised just over $250,000, which completely blew away our expectations. We are thrilled with the work that they did and haven’t regretted it once.”
“FUNDED TODAY—KING OF CROWDFUNDING”
“We had a successful campaign last summer and we partnered with Funded Today about halfway through the campaign. We found Funded Today to be very professional and very experienced in Kickstarter marketing. They helped us generate some very good insights into who our key audiences are. Would I consider working with them again? Yes! The communication was very good. They were flexible in finding a way for us to work together. They were able to drive traffic to our page and generate quite a few sales. Thank you Funded Today.”
“I don’t think I would have ran this project without the help of Funded Today. So, if you’re not sure, I recommend them highly and I appreciate all the work that they’ve been doing.”
MEGA GLAM Hair Curling Wraps: Raised $41,200
“Funded Today helped fund over 2/3 of the campaign. Working with Funded Today gave me complete confidence. They knew the ropes well and gave me terrific guidance with cross collaborations and other methods that they have tried and found true to be successful with Kickstarter campaigns. Working with Funded Today was wonderful they were always prompt and quick to respond to any questions that I might have. I liked working with them because I felt they had a high level of integrity and honesty. I would recommend them hands down over and over they did a terrific job. We’re grateful for their partnership. Would I do another campaign with them? Absolutely.”
“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!”
“We contacted Funded Today and that’s when things really changed. After one week of test and Funded Today was at full capacity the results were amazing. The rest of the campaign the pledges were rocketing up every day. At the end of the campaign with the help of Funded Today the campaign ended at $460,000. If I would do it again the first thing I would be to make sure that I have Funded Today collaboration in my approach. Results were amazing and I really like working with Funded Today. Daily reports everything was really clear where we were going, what was going on. It was really easy to follow. I’ll honestly tell you I’m really really happy we did what we did that day I picked up the phone and called Funded Today.”
“Funded Today did a fantastic job! Keep up the good work!”
“FT is professional. You have a scientific method to help creators. This is really a surprise to us. And this definitely give us a confidence to FT.”
“We met with other folks who have worked with Funded Today and asked if they could do it all over again would they and a vast majority of them said yes they would. We reached out to Funded Today and learned their business model. There would be a 3-7 day validation period where they run a bunch of ads to see if there is some sort of ROI that could make them money and make us money and keep the customers happy. Ultimately we decided to go with Funded Today and very happy we did. Being Entrepreneur it’s about calculated risks and taking Funded Today on as a partner has been a risk I would take over and over again for future crowdfunding campaigns that we do. I’m very pleased with Funded Today and have nothing but positive things to say about them.”
“Funded Today did an amazing job on our campaign and we are so happy that we signed on with them.”
“WOW!!! That is AMAZING! Thank you so much for going the extra mile when Funded Today really didn’t have to. We appreciate it so much!”

“Blade of Unagi”: Raised CA $0
“Funded Today was professional and very skilled at what they do. The speed of communication impressed me.”
“Although your team is incredible on presenting the product, your concern on the small details, that most others might miss is remarkable!”
Litho Hammocks: Raised $40,166
“With 10 days left we finally hired Funded Today and it was a really good idea. We were on track to maybe hit 50% of our goal and in the end we hit 200%. In 10 days they took our campaign from $7,000 all the way to $40,000 which was awesome. We don’t know what they do but their good at it. We definitely recommend they to people who are serious about getting their product out there. Funded Today know what they’re doing. 100% worth it.”
“We raised below $3.1 million with the help of Funded Today.”
“Been working with FT for a few years now over several campaigns. Supply them what they need, and they’ll deliver. Would recommend.”
