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.”
Barnacle Coasters: Raised $62,840
“We eclipsed our $10,000 goal within the first 24 hours and we had a successful launch party but after the first few days, our campaign hit the inevitable flatline, and that’s where we got Funded Today involved. We hired them starting on Day 5 of our campaign. Everything Funded Today did worked. From the day we hired them forward, we saw our projections and graph trend upward, until literally the last day of our campaign. We reached 6 times our original goal thanks to Funded Today! They are great! They answer your questions in a timely manner, they give you tips, and they know what they are doing. They are good partners!”
Board Game Truck: Raised S$ 86,430
“Despite being half way across the world, everything was done effectively and timely. We had a good experience”
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.”
“Pledges spiked after working with Funded.Today. We made more money in the few days we worked with Funded Today than we made in the 20+ days when we tried to go it alone. Their process took a few days for things to really start working but when the ads started clicking, the change was immediate and noticeable. The service was so great, we have actually already started working with them on our next Kickstarter project.”
VEIU Doorbell: Raised $265,421
“Funded Today fully managed my campaign. Funded Today helped us on our last campaign as well. On our first campaign, we raised $880,000. The result was amazing! We weren’t as big with our second company, Eques. So, we hired Funded Today. With Funded Today’s help, I felt so relaxed. There were no more sleepless nights, no more overworking hours. Funded Today is the #1 agency I would recommend for a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter or IndieGoGo.”
“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.”
“Overall, working with Funded Today was a really really comforting experience. And they did so much for us that it really freed us up to focus on other parts of our project. We were able to ‘get the ball rolling’ on a few other things a little bit sooner than we thought we would because we thought that, for the entire 30 days of this Kickstarter, we would be focused on just this—and, so, they helped us out so much in that way. And, so, I’d definitely recommend Funded Today.”
“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. :)”
“After 40 days, our Kickstarter had $190,000 in pledges. We needed $110,000 more in less than a week to reach our goal. We hired Funded Today and they far surpassed our expectations. We blew past our goal of $300,000 in 5 days.”
“We were dead in the water with no traction and then Funded Today came into the picture. They did a test for us to make sure that it was viable for them. I was a little worried about it I thought they were just taking our money but we passed the test. They ended up raising about $1,000 a day for the last 10-12 days and in the end without them we would not have been able to fund our project. We’re very happy and off to the races and Funded Today had a big part of that.”
“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.”
“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.”
“A week before we launched our campaign, we got Funded Today onboard. With their help we were able to raise around $200,000. Their invaluable experience in crowdfunding helped us a lot. Funded Today will definitely be our first choice for a crowdfunding marketing agency or partner if we choose to launch another campaign.”
“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.”

“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.”
“The end results were rather good. Thanks for the great work and support.”
“Crowdfunding is complex and there is a lot of behind the scenes analytical data that is needed in order to run a successful campaign. Out of the gates you’ll have your friend, family and percentage of your email list that will back your project, but once the traffic starts to die off, this is where you’ll realize that you not only need access to that important analytical data but need to know the fastest and most effective way to implement it. When you’re a Creator—there just isn’t time to figure all of that out—not even for our team of 7. Funded Today has the expertise to prevent you from making some bad decisions that could cost you your entire campaign, and the returns they are able to bring in are successful because they are rooted in analytical data. Numbers always tell an honest story, and they help you see where to pivot. With a short campaign, if you you do need to pivot, you need to do it quickly, and having their counsel on this has been amazing. I brought Funded Today on mid-campaign, and I regret that I did not bring them on pre-campaign as their services have not only proven to bring in a high ROI, but the professionalism, guidance, coaching, insider tips and support they provide is AMAZING! Do not wait until you are mid-campaign when your traffic starts dying off from friend and family to hire them, as it will cost you momentum and that early success that you need to keep getting direct traffic on Kickstarter itself. Also, I never felt like they were selling me on anything. I always felt like they were providing me with the education I needed to make logical business decisions based on numbers and data. They know their stuff and I could not imagine this journey without their support.”
“I will Kickstart again. And, when I Kickstart again, I guarantee I use Funded Today. It would be stupid not to. Because, again, I doubled and I expect to triple the money that I would have raised without them. So, if you’re on the fence, take it from some guy who doesn’t know anything but the fact that they have actually really been a huge help.”
“Overall, was a good experience—very professional service.”
“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.”
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!”
“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.”
