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.”
“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.”
Premium Boxer Briefs: Raised $142,672
“We got in touch with the people over at Funded Today. Luckily, they were able to gather up something really quickly with 5 days left of the campaign. They managed to do something pretty spectacular. Pretty exponential growth had they had more time they would have gathered a whole lot more. They managed to pass all other source of traffic and referral traffic. Pretty amazing work. Highly recommend these guys.”
Magna Carta Playing Cards: Raised $82,271
“I brought Funded Today on because their case studies are just phenomenal. I wanted their expertise on my campaign. I really liked their professionalism. Even though they have a certain business model, how to market and grow a campaign, they had never worked with a playing card campaign before, and they were STILL able to make it possible, despite not knowing certain variables of how prospective customers or backers would react! Without Funded Today, we probably would have stalled. With Funded Today, we were able to have very steady growth, something that I had never seen before with Kickstarter (i.e. most campaigns stall out or plateau in Funding). Exponential growth would have been better! haha, but, I’ll take steady growth any day as well. They were really easy to reach on Skype, all the time. They had a great group chat set-up for me on Skype. After a week of testing, you could sort of feel the effort levels drop a little bit because my campaign did not make them as much profit, perhaps, as others of their really successful campaigns. Overall, I would fully recommend anyone that is doing a design product or technology product to go with Funded Today AS SOON AS POSSIBLE because they have those categories down and they will not disappoint!”
Pop-Up Fire Pit: Raised $30,358
“We launched our first campaign 20 days ago. We chose to work with Funded Today because of their expertise in internet marketing and their background of bringing campaigns of all sizes to life. They were straightforward and realistic about where we stood in the Crowdfunding sector. They clearly stated their objectives of how they were going to get it done. So far we are very happy with the results. My only regret is not using them 90 prior to our launch to really ramp up a new campaign. We will be using them for future campaigns.”
"Book of Psalms": Raised $66,494
“We’ve been working with Funded Today for a couple of days now, and it’s been super-awesome. We didn’t know what to expect. Two thousand dollars—where would that go? But they’ve totally surprised me—just the amount of attention that they’ve given to our project. The amount of communication that they’ve had has been really awesome. We’ve launched a Kickstarter before and, so, this has helped us a lot—comparing how we did the last one, Funded Today has been so much better.”
“Funded Today was extremely on it and I appreciate the integrity for how Funded Today handled all aspects. This was my first campaign I’ve ever done and there are a lot of scammers out there trying to get a piece and Funded Today is legit. I hope we can work together in the future on a larger scale product launch!”
“I am absolutely thrilled with my experience. My only regret is that I didn’t start with them from day one. Their team is very professional, extremely responsive—we kind of created like our own individual Skype channel so that I could post up a question and get an immediate response. I would highly recommend them; if we ever do another campaign, I absolutely would not do it without them.”
AUS-ION Cookware: Raised AU$ 455,822
“We enlisted Funded Today on our 8th Kickstarter campaign. We found that Funded Today kept that graph trending up then of course that big rush at the end. Certainly worth a look and we were happy with the final result.”
Stone Collection: Raised $20,677
“Thanks for the work and the effort you put in our campaign. Even though our cooperation didn’t work out as everyone hoped, we are still glad that we tried working together on this campaign. Now we are happy that we finished it and can start producing our watches—and that was our main goal. We will study your marketing report and hopefully learn our lessons for upcoming projects (be it crowdfunding or online marketing in general). Thanks for your transparent communication and the kind and personal contact here on Skype.”
“I wanted to give a quick shout-out to Funded Today. They have an amazing marketing team. They did a lead-generation (e-mail) for us, and we worked with them prior to the beginning of our campaign, and that was the best decision we made. Within a couple of hours, we got funded. We had asked for $20,000 and we were—the first day, I think—over $25,000, which was amazing. Just with the lead-generation e-mails, we raised about $35,000. And, today, we’re about $250,000, and six days left to go in our campaign. So, our minds are blown and we can’t thank you guys enough.”
Computer Vision A-Z: Raised AU$ 87,294
“To date, we’ve run 3 successful Kickstarter campaigns, raising a total of approximately 3,000 U.S. dollars. And, if you look at our campaigns, (they are Deep Learning A-Z, Artificial Intelligence A-Z, and Computer Vision A-Z), you will see that initially there’s a huge spike in backers and, then, it quickly dropped off after our existing audience already backed our project. But, then, what you’ll notice is that they slowly-but-surely start growing, growing, growing, growing, in terms of the number of backers, and that is the work of Funded Today. Without Funded Today’s guidance and support, none of our success would have been possible, and we wouldn’t have reached nowhere near as many people around the world, and not as many people would have learned about our projects and our products. So, I would like to extend a huge thank-you to Funded Today; working with them has been extremely amazing, extremely helpful, and very very easy.”
Magnet Driver: Raised $114,783
“With Funded Today’s support, we were able to get a total amount of more than 100,000 USD, and their contribution was more than 40-50 percent of the total amount. We were really satisfied with their services.”
“Overall, working with Funded Today was a really really comforting experience. And they did so much for us that it really freed us up to focus on other parts of our project. We were able to ‘get the ball rolling’ on a few other things a little bit sooner than we thought we would because we thought that, for the entire 30 days of this Kickstarter, we would be focused on just this—and, so, they helped us out so much in that way. And, so, I’d definitely recommend Funded Today.”
“You guys are doing an absolutely phenomenal job. We are totally floored that we have almost broken the 6 figure mark! Friday was PHENOMENAL. Congrats!”
“The Funded Today team have been awesome to work with on this! Thanks a ton to Funded Today for all their hard work on this! We are excited to push as hard on this final stretch as possible!”
Wood Phone Cases: Raised CA$ 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.”
“Funded Today is a crowdfunding agency with a good reputation having been very successful with other campaigns. We partnered with them shortly after our campaign launched. I found their help to be very rewarding. I know at times there were up to 4-5 people at Funded Today, working live on our campaign, researching various avenues to market our product! They doubled, perhaps even more, the amount of campaign contributions received. We raised enough money with Funded Today’s help to meet our delivery dates. I’m sure that we would use Funded Today again.”
“First off they are easily reachable so communication was good. Between them and us communication was good and were quick to reply. Seemed like nice enough guys and were really easy to talk to. When the campaign ended there were no surprises they were upfront in what the contract had in it. We were between $50k and 60k when we originally signed with them and we had a few weeks left in our campaign. We ended with just under $100k and so they definitely helped us get up there. I really liked with them is they were really easy to track. They made it really easy to track and see where all the different sources of money were coming from and we really liked that.”
Computer Vision A-Z: Raised AU$ 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.”
“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!”
