Reviews of Funded Today
From Kickstarter & Indiegogo Creators
“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!”
“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.”
“Overall, was a good experience—very professional service.”
“Worth every penny! Everyone is doing fantastic, I’m so happy all the way around. I love this experience!”
“Funded Today is a crowdfunding agency with a good reputation having been very successful with other campaigns. We partnered with them shortly after our campaign launched. I found their help to be very rewarding. I know at times there were up to 4-5 people at Funded Today, working live on our campaign, researching various avenues to market our product! They doubled, perhaps even more, the amount of campaign contributions received. We raised enough money with Funded Today’s help to meet our delivery dates. I’m sure that we would use Funded Today again.”
“We expected to work with professionals and we were pleased to find that to be true.”
“Your business went above and beyond what I expected, extremely professional!”
Stone Collection: Raised $20,677
“Thanks for the work and the effort you put in our campaign. Even though our cooperation didn’t work out as everyone hoped, we are still glad that we tried working together on this campaign. Now we are happy that we finished it and can start producing our watches—and that was our main goal. We will study your marketing report and hopefully learn our lessons for upcoming projects (be it crowdfunding or online marketing in general). Thanks for your transparent communication and the kind and personal contact here on Skype.”
Board Game Truck: Raised S$ 86,430
“Despite being half way across the world, everything was done effectively and timely. We had a good experience”
“Overall, our Kickstarter campaign (Olarm) raised almost $200,000, so we're very proud of that, especially for our first campaign. We attribute a lot of that effort to the good work that Funded Today did for us.”
”Take the Trail” Backpacks: Raised $20,458
“It was a great experience but ultimately we did not pass their criteria for continuing on pass the first few days trial and wanted to talk to you about why I would do that again even though we did not continue on with Funded Today. Funded Today was incredibly quick to answer our application and once we had a preliminary talk with them and decided we could work together, they were incredibly quick to get the ads off the ground and running. From the very first day we could definitely see a marked increase of traffic. They were incredibly communicative the whole time. They helped us revamp our landing page. What they claim that they do, they did very well. The reason I would choose Funded Today again would be because they were communicative and there were no empty promises. If I had a different product that was unique enough I would 100% go with Funded Today again but work from the very beginning.”
”Period of Comfort” Panties: Raised $109,348
“We worked with Funded Today for our campaign. We raised over $100,000 thanks to them. They are very simple and very easy to work with and they’re very professional. I hope to work with them on our next campaigns.”
“There are only a handful of really significant digital marketing organizations that can help you with crowdfunding. Jordan, of Funded Today, reached out to me quite early on in our campaign. Our campaign was quite small at the time, having only raised $50,000. And, I wasn’t expecting Funded Today to reach out to me, I was expecting it to be the other way around. There’s a lot of great things I could say about Jordan. He’s organized, he’s a great team leader, he’s empathetic, and he’s a very thoughtful person. After the terrorist attack that happened in London, within an hour, he checked to see if I was okay and if my family was well. This was a very endearing touch. The results we had with Funded Today have been really amazing. Before Funded Today, we were going to do $115,000 GBP. I would highly recommend Funded Today to other crowdfunders. I think they are the best in the class. Their work can be enormously impactful. It’s important to not simply rely on Funded Today though. You have to step up to the plate as a project creator and work at their pace… and Funded Today’s pace can be quite quick.”
“Using Funded Today feels like cheating. We are so happy with the results.”
“I got the team from Funded Today involved about 5 days before my campaign ended. The first thing to say is: I REALLY wish I’d got them involved very much sooner! I think the ONLY question you need to ask yourself in getting involved with these guys is: Is my project good enough for them? I have NEVER, EVER had a more effective business relationship that worked sooo smoothly, sooo quickly, and so effectively, it really was quite amazing! We raised DOUBLE the amount we expected to raise. We began to plateau so we hired Funded Today and now within the first 2-3 days of working together and cross talk, I found Funded Today extremely hands-on, very communicative, very honest, and very straightforward. We formed a Skype group quite quickly and that was really useful for me so I was kind of living it along with them. And once they got going, WOW did they get going. Our curve of pledges just took off! It was absolutely outstanding. I’ve never seen anything like it. It was almost that sort of question: ‘Wow, what’s the magic here!?’ But, it’s not magic. It’s just sheer skill. They know what they are doing. I would have no hesitation, whatsoever, in recommending Funded Today to any Kickstarter or IndieGoGo campaign. It’s a no brainer. Get them in as early as you possibly can. And have no qualms, whatever, about the percentage they charge because it’s absolutely worth it. I am a hard-nosed Scottish businessman and believe you me, I don’t part with money easily. But these guys are completely worth it. I have NEVER seen anything like it. I’m going to use them again as quickly as I can as I have other campaigns in my pipeline, and I’m delighted to recommend them, wholeheartedly, to anyone out there!”
“Thanks Funded Today. You did a great job and absolutely exceeded my expectations. I am sure we will be working with Funded Today in the future. We have about six projects were working on right now but various stages our intent is to always use Funded Today for all of our projects. We are just trying to set the calendar to figure out which we should do first. I should know in the next week I would be glad to share that calendar with Funded Today once we’re there.”
Hemingway Heritage Watch: Raised $80,321
“It’s been fun working with Funded Today. They did a great job and were very professional.”
“We have partnered with Funded Today to help us with the campaign on Kickstarter. They have done everything from page-design, even lead-generation, to full marketing service of all the campaign, and we are very pleased with the work that Funded Today has done on all the campaign. So, we can warmly recommend anybody else who has a Kickstarter project or are planning a Kickstarter project to contact Funded Today to get professional help.”
“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.”
“You guys are nice. We’ve worked with other FB Ad specialists who all had horror stories to tell about you guys. But we found working with FT very professional. Our business and yours spoke the common language of being data driven.”
Cortèz Outerwear: Raised €237,227
“Funded Today is one of the bigger crowdfunding agencies in this space, and that’s also one of the reasons why we chose them. We thought they would be very effective in Facebook marketing—one of the primary acquisition-sources within Kickstarter. In the end, they weren’t as effective as we thought but, nevertheless, it was a good experience because they helped us a lot with press outreach and with cross-collaborations. Aside from that, the team is quite effective—they are professional and have a good knowledge of crowdfunding marketing in general, which made it a good overall pleasant experience.”
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.”
“Funded.Today has an amazing track record. I was lucky to be one of their first few campaigns, since one of the founders (Zach) was a personal friend (and an impressive businessman). I honestly wouldn’t have succeeded without them. Now they’re doing incredible things like taking campaigns that may have made $100K and making them 500K to a million. They are honest, hard workers from what I’ve seen. They might not be for every campaign, as some of the fellow kickstarters I recommended were passed on because funded today didn’t want to ‘cut into their campaign’s profits’ But hey, that’s the kind of attitude that wins my respect. I can tell they really love to help others succeed! As for the other services who contacted me during my campaign, I didn’t think I could trust the others. :)”
“We launch our first project and have little experience in crowdfunding. We tried different marketing methods but results are underwhelming. Funded Today contacted us and we decided to give them a try. Jordan, our contact person, maintain great contact. Their whole team is hard working, our questions and suggestions were answered even when late in the night. As for results, the project is doing much better than on our own. Plus we were now able to to focus on product development.”
