Reviews of Funded Today
From Kickstarter & Indiegogo Creators
“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.”
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 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.”
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.”
“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.”
“The experience with the Funded Today Team has been a dream. The team members have been responsive, knowledgeable, and have been a pleasure to work with.”
“I reached out to Funded Today for help with my campaign and Jordan David has been awesome in redesigning my campaign. He provided great insights into how to improve my Kickstarter campaign page for better conversions. Very friendly and helpful and the changes are making a great difference. This was all before hiring FT for their services! I highly recommend getting in touch with FT if you are struggling with getting pledges on your campaign.”
“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.”
“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.”
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.”
Computer Vision A-Z: Raised AU$ 87,294
“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.”
“We wanted this product to reach much more wider audiences. Later on we heard about Funded Today. After some research we found lots of successful campaigns that Funded Today has done before and most of them are top raised Kickstarter campaigns. We decided to give them a try and they actually did an amazing job on the campaign. Thank you Funded Today you guys are awesome!”
“To the entire Funded Today Team: THANK YOU!!! Funded Today was great and we really appreciate them being so flexible with the deal structure. We know it’s not something they typically do. We’re very happy with the results and will be creating the testimonial video soon.”
“Blade of Unagi”: Raised CA $0
“Funded Today was professional and very skilled at what they do. The speed of communication impressed me.”
“We launch our first project and have little experience in crowdfunding. We tried different marketing methods but results are underwhelming. Funded Today contacted us and we decided to give them a try. Jordan, our contact person, maintain great contact. Their whole team is hard working, our questions and suggestions were answered even when late in the night. As for results, the project is doing much better than on our own. Plus we were now able to to focus on product development.”
“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.”
“[Funded Today has] been highly professional and I would definitely recommend [them] to others who ask about a crowd funding solution.”
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.”
Ultimate Belts: Raised $180,326
“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!”
“Everything went great. Wish we would have hired you sooner.”
“I launched a successful Kickstarter campaign with the help of Funded Today. I used they from the very start of my campaign and overall we raised over $75,000 with a thousand backers. They were always open to chatting whether it be on the phone of Skype. Very open, honest and knowledgable about the ads they were putting in place and the audiences they would select. They were also very open to my feedback on who we should target and different potential options that we could move forward with. Very collaborative. Definitely happy with Funded Today. Definitely would us them again. Would recommend them. They bring in a lot of new backers. If you need help with marketing and that’s not your expertise then go to Funded Today and they can certainly help you out.”
“Funded Today is a GREAT!! crowdfunding marketing firm if you’re already converting customers. If you just launched and don’t have any backers yet, they cannot guarantee you anything. Once you have some successful backers they can use that data to target MORE people just like the ones that backed you and Scale it up… Its excellent if you have limited funds or you’re not experienced with marketing on social media. You DO NOT just post your campaign on Kickstarter or Indiegogo and just sit back, raising money. You have to grind and sell like a mad person. They help you do that”
BASICS Wallet: Raised $171,315
“We were able to successfully raised $171,000 … definitely with the help of Funded Today. We could not have done it without them. The biggest thing I learned while working with Funded Today: Their marketing seems like magic sometimes! All they need is a great product and they can do all of the rest. The team at Funded Today is honest and hard-working. We had a lot of trust in them and did not have to worry about the little details. Overall, I’d highly recommend working with Funded Today. We had a great experience!”
