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.”
“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.”
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!”
“Thanks to Funded Today’s support we were about to get the stabilizer flash shell funded. We were really excited to get this project off the ground and Funded Today made that all possible. The only regret is not using them sooner. It was incredible to see the difference from where we were to the moment we brought them on board just skyrocketed our pledges in the last week or so. I highly recommend working with Funded Today we plan on using them for future campaigns as well and future product ideas and using them from the very beginning. It was very helpful to have their insight and tips to make our product listing page better but also to have their expertise to bring on the right customers who were looking for our product was wonderful. Thank you Funded Today. None of this would have been possible without Funded Today and their incredible work.”
“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 $100K and making them 500K to a million. They are honest, hard workers from what I’ve seen. They might not be for every campaign, as some of the fellow kickstarters I recommended were passed on because funded today didn’t want to ‘cut into their campaign’s profits’ But hey, that’s the kind of attitude that wins my respect. I can tell they really love to help others succeed! As for the other services who contacted me during my campaign, I didn’t think I could trust the others. :)”
“You guys are nice. We’ve worked with other FB Ad specialists who all had horror stories to tell about you guys. But we found working with FT very professional. Our business and yours spoke the common language of being data driven.”
“I’m extremely grateful to have worked with Funded Today. The biggest thing that stuck out to me is despite being an online or digital service, most of their communication being email, phone and Skype the personal touch that Funded Today has was much more than I expected. I was always able to get a hold of the people assigned to my project. I was also able to speak with the founders of Funded Today one on one. I found that to be very comforting and very professional. After seeing a long history of solid results prior to my campaign and then seeing it with my campaign as well I also suggested the services of Funded Today to other project creators and I’ve seen them deliver time and time again. For those projects. I highly suggest you work with Funded Today don’t hesitate.”
“The Funded Today team have been awesome to work with on this! Thanks a ton to Funded Today for all their hard work on this! We are excited to push as hard on this final stretch as possible!”
Computer Vision A-Z: Raised AU$ 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.”
“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.”
“We had a successful campaign last summer and we partnered with Funded Today about halfway through the campaign. We found Funded Today to be very professional and very experienced in Kickstarter marketing. They helped us generate some very good insights into who our key audiences are. Would I consider working with them again? Yes! The communication was very good. They were flexible in finding a way for us to work together. They were able to drive traffic to our page and generate quite a few sales. Thank you Funded Today.”
“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.”
Forever Flask: Raised £102,970
“We made the prototype and got Funded Today engaged early on. Chandler, a Client Specialist at Funded Today, was extremely helpful with lots of suggestions and tips on what to improve on how to make a good Kickstarter page and create a great video. Funded Today started advertising and promoting our campaign from the very beginning and delivered a really good result 30 days later. They provided us with frequent updates of what was going on, suggested what tweaks to make on the Kickstarter page, how to improve the results, and went well beyond just pure marketing and promotion. Compared to a lot of other similar company out there, it would look that Funded Today is the best out there. They cover such a rich array of services and provide so many different bits of advice and help on Kickstarter and on getting funding. A really good sign is that Zach Smith, the CEO and CoFounder of Funded Today, is still dipping in and out, here and there, and providing fairly hands-on advice and help throughout the campaign. And that’s always a really good sign of any company where the CEO and Founder still does that. I definitely really recommend Funded Today’s crowdfunding services if you’re thinking about it.”
“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.”
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!”
“Your business went above and beyond what I expected, extremely professional!”
“I’d like to vouch for the character of the guys at Funded Today, particularly Zach Smith, but really the entire time. They are really professional, friendly, and responsive. I had a lot of questions about crowdfunding and they answered everything. They really, genuinely are the experts at what they do. I would trust them with your ”crowdfunding life.” Back to Zach, he’s just super stand-up, he sticks to his word, not only that, he’s very encouraging and inspiring, and an honest guy.”
“We want to thank Funded Today for helping us reach our Kickstarter goal. They were easy to work with and had a professional approach. We also understood that they were methodological in dealing with challenges that arose. Thanks to Funded Today’s services, we saw a dramatic surge in traffic and popularity for our Kickstarter campaign. Jordan David, our client manager, was also very friendly and communicative. Overall, it was a good experience.”
“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.”
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.”
“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.”
“FT is professional. You have a scientific method to help creators. This is really a surprise to us. And this definitely give us a confidence to FT.”
“We raised below $3.1 million with the help of Funded Today.”
