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.”
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.”
Drink Induction Chiller: Raised $106,868
“[A]bout halfway through my campaign with $13.5k raised, I continued my conversation with Jordan (a sales rep at Funded Today). We discussed my conversion ratios and what Funded Today could do that I couldn’t on my own. We negotiated terms and I ran the numbers. In order to break even with Funded Today at my margins, we would need the campaign to reach $90k. This was very unlikely, and to their credit, no one at Funded Today guaranteed any specific amount. I hesitantly signed the contract after a careful review, wired the upfront fees, and ads were running within a few hours. Jordan immediately assembled a team of Funded Today employees who each had different roles on marketing my campaign, and the communication was excellent and easy. It was obvious in our first 24 hours that the ads were converting well, which I somewhat expected based on the fact that I had over 200 organic backers, was converting around 3.5% of page views according to Google Analytics, and 10% of people who viewed my video backed. We ramped up fast since Funded Today came in with only 12 days left in my campaign. I was featured on their cashback newsletter, which alone raised about $6k in one day. I slightly increased my prices to account for the margins, and even so, was selling $10k+ per day. Looking at the Kicktraq data, you can see from 6/21 onwards, where we began to ramp the campaign with their platform. I was shocked at how fast the campaign grew, and in less than two weeks we raised $93k together. $44k can directly be attributed to Funded Today, and having all those backers helps drive more Kickstarter traffic to the campaign based on the discovery and search algo. Overall, I have to say I am incredibly thankful and impressed with Funded Today. You cannot match their conversions doing Facebook ads on your own (I tried), as they have the audience and techniques nailed down. They can create a look-a-like audience, which a small budget facebook page doesn’t have access to. They also have a great cashback network and email list. However, I cannot recommend them to everyone. Your campaign must be doing well on its own, it much have a big enough audience, and it must convert from ads. Funded Today gave me a huge boost, compared to the $30k I was trending towards organically. I believe they can do the same for you if you have a marketable campaign. However, if you are looking for a lifeline, throwing your money at any marketing agency is probably not going to help. Sometimes a caterpillar doesn’t become a butterfly—that’s the risk with launching a new product on a crowdfunding site.”
“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.”
“When we first launched on Kickstarter, I was scared. So, I brought on Funded Today. Jordan was my Client Specialist and he was able to guide me and help me out throughout the entire process. He even answered my questions at 11:00 PM at night, and weekends, you name it! I really owe my success to Funded Today and the great team behind Funded Today. Now, Ruggy is ranked 18th out of 4,700 live projects on Kickstarter! Thank you, Funded Today!”
Pop-Up Fire Pit: Raised $30,358
“We launched our first campaign 20 days ago. We chose to work with Funded Today because of their expertise in internet marketing and their background of bringing campaigns of all sizes to life. They were straightforward and realistic about where we stood in the Crowdfunding sector. They clearly stated their objectives of how they were going to get it done. So far we are very happy with the results. My only regret is not using them 90 prior to our launch to really ramp up a new campaign. We will be using them for future campaigns.”
“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!”
“We wanted this product to reach much more wider audiences. Later on we heard about Funded Today. After some research we found lots of successful campaigns that Funded Today has done before and most of them are top raised Kickstarter campaigns. We decided to give them a try and they actually did an amazing job on the campaign. Thank you Funded Today you guys are awesome!”
“You delivered what you promised and even more. Wasn’t really surprised about anything. I feel that what you told us and promised was met.”
“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.”
“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.”
The Hydration Shirt: Raised $23,026
“We know Funded Today did their best and they were a pleasure to work with. Extremely diligent and professional. I wish all of the consultants we engaged were as forthcoming!”
“The Funded Today team have been awesome to work with on this! Thanks a ton to Funded Today for all their hard work on this! We are excited to push as hard on this final stretch as possible!”
“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.”
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!”
“Funded Today was extremely on it and I appreciate the integrity for how Funded Today handled all aspects. This was my first campaign I’ve ever done and there are a lot of scammers out there trying to get a piece and Funded Today is legit. I hope we can work together in the future on a larger scale product launch!”
Premium Boxer Briefs: Raised $142,672
“We got in touch with the people over at Funded Today. Luckily, they were able to gather up something really quickly with 5 days left of the campaign. They managed to do something pretty spectacular. Pretty exponential growth had they had more time they would have gathered a whole lot more. They managed to pass all other source of traffic and referral traffic. Pretty amazing work. Highly recommend these guys.”
“We have partnered with Funded Today to help us with the campaign on Kickstarter. They have done everything from page-design, even lead-generation, to full marketing service of all the campaign, and we are very pleased with the work that Funded Today has done on all the campaign. So, we can warmly recommend anybody else who has a Kickstarter project or are planning a Kickstarter project to contact Funded Today to get professional help.”
AUS-ION Cookware: Raised AU$ 455,822
“We enlisted Funded Today on our 8th Kickstarter campaign. We found that Funded Today kept that graph trending up then of course that big rush at the end. Certainly worth a look and we were happy with the final result.”
“Overall the FT helped the campaign above my expectation.”
“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!”
“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.”
“I love you guys. Your enthusiasm makes my day. Thanks for the positivity—I couldn’t have been more grateful I chose you.”
“I really do appreciate all the help. You have all been more than wonderful and insightful to work with, and I appreciate it greatly. I wish each of you the best 2018 that you can possibly have, and thank you again for all the hard work over this testing period. If I ever do a crowdfunding for any other product again, I will certainly come to you first, and recommend anyone I know who has a crowdfunding campaign to your team.”
