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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“We knew from the start that we wanted help marketing our campaign—we have a killer product and we are serious about bringing it to market professionally and successfully. We started out with a firm who seemed promising, once we learned about Funded Today it was a no-brainer to engage their services. While we didn’t feel at all scammed by the first firm, Funded Today brought an unparalleled depth and breadth of experience and resources to the table. FT’s business model is brilliantly simple: they thoroughly and methodically test a campaign to determine if it will be profitable. If it is, then they invest their own money, optimally advertising the campaign for maximum return. Their success formula is a juggernaut, where your success and their success are in complete alignment. Even though we only passed the validation stage, we are already seeing a very strong return from FT’s efforts. They’ve been highly communicative, professional and a joy to work with. While I’m not sure what the remaining two weeks will bring, I do feel confident that we bet on the right horse. Feel free to reach out to me directly if you'd like to know more.”

“Thank you and the team for the fantastic work throughout the campaigns … It’s been a fantastic one month for us working with FT team too. Definitely will recommend and continue to work with FT in the future”
“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.”
“I am absolutely thrilled with my experience. My only regret is that I didn’t start with them from day one. Their team is very professional, extremely responsive—we kind of created like our own individual Skype channel so that I could post up a question and get an immediate response. I would highly recommend them; if we ever do another campaign, I absolutely would not do it without them.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Overall, was a good experience—very professional service.”
“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. :)”

“This is the 2nd time we’ve teamed up with the folks at FUNDED TODAY to boost our Kickstarter campaign and we can say without hesitation ”The are awesome!” In both instances FT gave our projects a BIG push upward, adding thousands of backers and a lot more sales. Without their efforts we would have had only mediocre success on KS, not the over the top record-breaking success they provided. They are real pros at what they do and cover all the bases. Moving ahead, we look forward to working together again—for a 3rd time!”
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.”
“I just wanted to give a shout-out to Funded Today and thank them for all of the success they brought to our campaign. We could have have got to that $1.3 million mark without them. And so I just wanted to let everybody know how important it is to reach out to Funded Today. These guys are experts at what they do. They know exactly how to run your campaign, run your Facebook ads, and all of your social media marketing. They find exactly what works and then they ‘dump the gas’ on to those methods that are bringing back a positive ROI (Return on Investment). And so we’ll definitely use Funded Today in the future and work with them on future projects. They’ve definitely added a lot of value to our campaign. Thanks 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.”
Hemingway Heritage Watch: Raised $80,321
“It’s been fun working with Funded Today. They did a great job and were very professional.”
Wood Phone Cases: Raised CA$ 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.”
“We raised below $3.1 million with the help of Funded Today.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Been working with FT for a few years now over several campaigns. Supply them what they need, and they’ll deliver. Would recommend.”
“Blade of Unagi”: Raised CA $0
“Funded Today was professional and very skilled at what they do. The speed of communication impressed me.”
“We launched on Kickstarter with the help of Funded Today. They have amazing marketing skills and I recommend them to anybody getting into crowdfunding.”
“Funded Today joined us about a fortnight before the project ended. In general, we were positively surprised about the professionalism, and the communication went fast and fluently. They also kept us perfectly aware about the next steps, and all the costs involved were communicated transparently. The team was always at our side—it was always easy to reach if we had any questions.”
Merino Tech 2.0: Raised CA$ 156,609
“We worked with Funded Today for just one week and it was a really amazing one week! They helped us more than double our pledges in just one week! We really appreciated their work. And we look forward to another cooperation with Funded Today for our next campaign.”
