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.”
“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!”
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”
Cold Shoulder 2.0: Raised $53,940
“I just wanted to say that the folks at Funded Today are awesome. It was easy to work with them. They helped me improve my campaign. They helped me copy my campaign from Kickstarter to Indiegogo so we could move over to InDemand creator as soon as the Kicktarter camapign was done. And they’re very communicative and very easy to work with via Skype.”
“We have partnered with Funded Today to help us with the campaign on Kickstarter. They have done everything from page-design, even lead-generation, to full marketing service of all the campaign, and we are very pleased with the work that Funded Today has done on all the campaign. So, we can warmly recommend anybody else who has a Kickstarter project or are planning a Kickstarter project to contact Funded Today to get professional help.”
“In the end there are two heavy weights that are the go to guys. They are FundedToday and Jellop. Both of these companies aren’t cheap but they do get results. . . . We found both of these companies very good at what they do. We found overall FundedToday delivered more results.”
Computer Vision A-Z: Raised AU$ 87,294
“To date, we’ve run 3 successful Kickstarter campaigns, raising a total of approximately 3,000 U.S. dollars. And, if you look at our campaigns, (they are Deep Learning A-Z, Artificial Intelligence A-Z, and Computer Vision A-Z), you will see that initially there’s a huge spike in backers and, then, it quickly dropped off after our existing audience already backed our project. But, then, what you’ll notice is that they slowly-but-surely start growing, growing, growing, growing, in terms of the number of backers, and that is the work of Funded Today. Without Funded Today’s guidance and support, none of our success would have been possible, and we wouldn’t have reached nowhere near as many people around the world, and not as many people would have learned about our projects and our products. So, I would like to extend a huge thank-you to Funded Today; working with them has been extremely amazing, extremely helpful, and very very easy.”
“Funded Today was flexible and willing to work with us in some of our unique circumstances. Gave good advice throughout our campaign and most importantly delivered results. Every bit of advice that I can recall that Funded Today had given us about what to expect with our campaign based on their experience turned out to be correct. Funded Today was always easy to reach and had numerous calls outside normal business hours. This was very helpful to me as I was still working at my day job and was working on our Kickstarter campaign on nights and weekends. We already had a successful Kickstarter campaign but Funded Today greatly boosted our raise. We engaged other marketing firms and by a wide margin Funded Today delivered the strongest results.”
“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.”
Wood Phone Cases: Raised CA$ 10,849
“We approached Funded Today pretty well in advance anticipating that they would be able to reach a greater number of backers. Had a pretty good start bringing a ton of traffic to our page. Unfortunately the conversion wasn’t there it was probably due to a number of reasons. They already had systems in place and switched us over to a cross promotions type deal where we were able to keep going on and bring in backers to the campaign. Funded Today was very professional they were always able to answer any of our questions and all and all it was a pretty good experience working with them.”
“The first week of Kickstarter went really well as we were able to tap into our friends and family network and then we started to kind of plateau and our daily pledges really weren’t that great so we reached out to Funded Today and they were very responsive. Everything was pretty much through email and then their Client Skype group. They were very honest with us about doing the Product Validation and Due Diligence Period and seeing if they could find some ad sets that would convert to pledges. After those first 5-7 days, we were excited because they took us on! And, at first, we weren’t really sure, because that 5-7 days they aren’t really scaling at that time so you do see your pledges go up but it’s not like anything that is out of the ordinary and we weren’t really sure they were going to take us on because I think they only take on like 40-50% of the people who go to them and pay that money during the Product Validation and Due Diligence Phase. But we understood that risk and we were really excited when we passed the first initial tests. Then, they scaled our campaign after the Product Validation and Due Diligence Period. They had originally told us that we were only to raise $25,000 based upon our $8,200 goal and we were going to be really happy about that because that was going to pay back a lot of our costs and that would really show that we had something and that people/backers would actually buy our product. So, when we saw our pledge count at the end of our 45 day campaign reach $60,000, we were more than ecstatic! Again, the process at Funded Today, I call it ‘MAGICAL’ because they really do things that I have no idea how they get the pledges and conversions they do, but we were really ecstatic to see the pledges go up and we were ecstatic to see the results that we saw. They were very honest and diligent about helping us to make some changes on our campaign that would help us. I cannot say enough about Funded Today. It’s nice when you kind of think something is going to turn out the way it does and then it actually does and Funded Today really helped us do what we were trying to accomplish. We’re really excited about the end results. So, I would recommend Funded Today to anybody but there are always risked involved with whatever company you partner with and everybody offers you everything when you are on Kickstarter and all of these people come out of the woodwork and promise you how they can help you grow your Kickstarter campaign but honestly, Funded Today really was able to do that. Thanks again to Funded Today!”

mnmlst Watches: Raised $61,879
“Eventually we started working with Funded Today and my only regret is that we didn’t start working with them sooner. Not only did Funded Today help us reach our goal but they helped us grow our customer base and triple our funding. Funded Today brought more eyeballs to our website in return lead to more sales.”
Thread Wallets: Raised $35,377
“It was more than a pleasure to work with Funded Today. I can tell you straight up that without Funded Today we definitely wouldn’t have been able to raise what we did.”
“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.”
“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.”
“We reached out to Funded Today who after 5 days of marketing ended up holding the reigns of our marketing. Funded Today helped us double our pledges. Leaving us 600% funded and we raised $62,000 in total. Funded Today really knows what they are doing and I highly recommend 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.”
“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.”
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.”
“Although your team is incredible on presenting the product, your concern on the small details, that most others might miss is remarkable!”
“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!”
CONDUIT Sports: Raised $106,213
“I want to thank Funded Today for helping us raise a lot of money on the Kickstarter and making this product a reality.”
