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.”
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!”
“Funded Today was very professional and they have helped generate quite a lot of sales from the Cashback Network. Thank you Funded Today and keep up your awesomeness.”
PRVKE Backpacks: Raised $113,697
“We hired Funded Today when we had about two weeks left in the campaign and we just hit our goal of $60,000. With Funded Today’s help we reached $113,000. So more than what we would have been able to do on our own.”
“Funded Today did an amazing job on our campaign and we are so happy that we signed on with them.”
“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.”
“We (at the start of the campaign) went out and searched for the best possible marketing agency to partner with. We interviewed a few different agencies—and there’s lots of good ones out there—but we landed on Funded Today because they seemed to have a good grasp on the entire project; they can make your video, they can write your video, they can do your Kickstarter page, they can do PR and paid-media. We were pretty far into the process already, so we had our video done and we had most of our page done, so we selected to do the PR and the paid-media with them. Now, the PR has been awesome—Pascal has done a great job; he’s got us a number of different articles that have shown very good conversion. And, then, the paid-media—Stephanie has done a great job, as well. Now, what you have to understand about the paid-media is it’s a little bit slow in the beginning—they take time to optimize, they want to really find the best bang for your buck—but, once they do, they really start to roll. Stephanie’s done a great job—she kept me in check, which is good. I’d like to thank Funded Today for their hard 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.”
“We used Funded Today on our latest Kickstarter campaign where we launched the world’s first custom-molded wireless earphones, Decibulz. We had a great experience working with Funded Today. They are extremely experienced, they only required a few thousand dollars of upfront capital initially to get going, which was really important for our new project and our new company. They were extremely professional, their ads were extremely effective, and they helped us soar waaay past our inital goal. They are good guys! You can’t go wrong with Funded Today.”
JOEY Backpack: Raised $233,656
“We brought Funded Today on about 10 before the end. We really liked that they made contact immediately and got all of our materials. They used those marketing materials for their own campaign. Their communication was open and honest and they were reached easily. They raised a little under $35,000 in roughly 9 days, which spiked the end of our campaign and spiked our campaign and influenced the algorithms on Kickstarter. They really helped our campaign. Funded Today charged a percentage of the profits and while daunting at first, it’s definitely worth out and turned out to be our best decision towards the end of our Kickstarter campaign. The results Funded Today achieved could not be done by anyone else.”
“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!”
“You guys are doing an absolutely phenomenal job. We are totally floored that we have almost broken the 6 figure mark! Friday was PHENOMENAL. Congrats!”
“Working with Funded Today was an amazing experience. Honest, Hardworking, Professionals is the best way I can think to describe this group. They know the crowdfunding space and are the best at what they do. When we hit ‘Launch’ on our campaign they took over all things marketing and we were able to focus on the manufacturing of our product and responding to our backers questions. It made our campaign an enjoyable and ‘mostly’ stress free experience. We highly recommend working with them.”
“We launched on Kickstarter with the help of Funded Today. They have amazing marketing skills and I recommend them to anybody getting into crowdfunding.”
“Such a great team to work with. Quick responses on Skype group chat are golden. They helped me raise over $500,000 on Kickstarter. Something that I once thought impossible. Hire them if you don’t have a dedicated marketing team or lost in the midst of campaign. Thank You, FT!”
“Your business went above and beyond what I expected, extremely professional!”
“We couldn’t have raised the amount of funds we did without Funded Today. We had tried other Kickstarter boosters and Funded Today had the best results that actually had a positive ROI.”
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.”
“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.”
“Blade of Unagi”: Raised CA $0
“Funded Today was professional and very skilled at what they do. The speed of communication impressed me.”
