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.”
“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!”
“Around mid-campaign when things usually slow down, we brought in FT to help maintain momentum. We could immediately tell the difference! Our trajectory increased sharply from that point, and finished up very strong at over 1000% funded! When we do our next Kickstarter campaign, we’ll definitely look at bringing on FT at the beginning. They have a proven track record, and I can say we enjoyed working with them.”
“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 are extremely pleased with the responsiveness and professional services Funded Today has been providing as you walk us down new pathways that are quite unfamiliar to us.”

“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.”
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.”
“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!”
Force Field Cloaks: Raised $241,681
“A lot of negative press has been out there about Funded Today and how they’re a scam and all they do is take your money and run—and, when I first approached Funded Today, I had the same fears and hesitations and chose not to work with them. But I have since started my campaign and, at 10 days in, decided to partner with them. And the question I think everyone considering working with Funded Today needs to ask themselves is: ‘Do I have a good product? Do I have my product presented well?’ And, if the answer is ‘yes’ to both those questions, I believe you should partner with Funded Today. The direction I took before hiring Funded Today was hiring an expert in the field and spending my own money—and I had some good results, but not very many. But, since working with Funded Today, the results we’ve been able to create together amazed even my own expectations. It was the best decision I ever made. The worst decision I ever made in this campaign was not working with them from the onset, because I know I’d be a lot larger than I am sitting here today with 8 days left.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Overall the FT helped the campaign above my expectation.”
“I used Funded Today for the marketing services and, yeah, I got a good result with them. The best thing was the cross-promotions worked really really really well and also I thought the communication was great. We used Skype and it was just easy to talk with everyone and so everyone responded pretty quickly. So, yeah, I had a good experience using Funded Today and I’d use them again for another crowdfunding project.”
“With the help of Funded Today, we raised over $1,000,000 on Kickstarter. Was it worth it to work for Funded Today? In our experience, you can say it was well worth it! They helped us raise over $700,000 of that money. Everything they do is transparent and they really kept us in the loop.”

“FundedToday. I will begin by mentioning the facts: Their business model is a no-brainer: due diligence fee aside, they use their share from the earnings from ads to fund more ads. If you believe in your product, then it’s a virtuous cycle. They have access to lots of Kickstarter audiences—and I mean many audiences- something we don’t have as creators. If you add their expertise in what-works-where, how and when, you’ll know that your campaign is being guided in the right direction. In addition to this, they have the true marketing wizards on their team. If you combine this with a whole lot of proactivity and ingenuity from their side, you can be sure that your campaign will pop up to the right people, at the right time and in the right way. We’ve worked together in all of our 3 Kickstarter campaigns, all totaling 478k AUD (374k USD). And one after the other, we kept coming back to them. But the most important fact worth mentioning is the value of the people who are a part of this team. They are all professional, straightforward, trustworthy and above all transparent individuals. In a couple of times, we faced some crucial decisions that we had to make, and due to our inexperience in the field we didn’t know what the right move was, but we turned to FundedToday. And every single time, Lisa, Dan and everyone else we’ve worked with, have guided us in the right direction and have always put out interests first. Even ahead of Funded Today’s. That is, perhaps, the biggest reason that has kept us coming back and will continue to do so as our mutual trust strengthens.”
“Although your team is incredible on presenting the product, your concern on the small details, that most others might miss is remarkable!”
“We heard from a friend that had done a Kickstarter campaign with Funded Today that Funded Today did some pretty incredible work and, so, we got some more information. We were a little bit hesitant at first to work with them just because of the percent that they take, but we raised just over $250,000, which completely blew away our expectations. We are thrilled with the work that they did and haven’t regretted it once.”
“Funded Today is the hottest thing in the Crowdfunding space haha”

“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.”
“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.”
