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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Working with Funded Today was an amazing experience. Honest, Hardworking, Professionals is the best way I can think to describe this group. They know the crowdfunding space and are the best at what they do. When we hit ‘Launch’ on our campaign they took over all things marketing and we were able to focus on the manufacturing of our product and responding to our backers questions. It made our campaign an enjoyable and ‘mostly’ stress free experience. We highly recommend working with them.”
“Our product maik wall frames is about to launch on Kickstarter March 26th 2018. We are working with Funded Today to help with the PR of our kickstarter campaign and they are just fantastic. Because this is our first campaign we have had so many questions that needed answering and Funded Today has been there for us every time we needed help. I’m not sure how we could have been ready for the launch without them. Our client specialist Jordan David has the experience needed to guide us through the set up process and have saved us so much time and energy in explaining what we need to do at each stage. When I read about what advice I could give other Kickstarter creators I felt I should give my experience because there may well be PR companies that offer much more than they actually are able to deliver. Check out what the PR company have actually done for other campaigns and the proof is in the pudding. I chose Funded Today because they have raised over $175,000,00 for creators around the world, I doubt a dodgy company could achieve that and keep doing it day in day out. They have helped with email generation in the pre-launch and have been brilliant at communicating exactly what they will do for us from our launch date. So choose carefully when looking around but we are very happy with our choice. The maik wall frames team.”
“We would work with you again, 100%.”

“Our first Kickstarter campaign and we hired Funded Today for our marketing and they were phenomenal. They helped us raise $242,000 and there was no way we could have raised that amount of money without their help. We started working with them about a month and a half before we launched our campaign and helped us know that we should push our campaign back and develop more media and develop our campaign more so that they’d be more successful. Just seeing everything they can do and the people constantly working on our campaign and the concern with how it was doing was incredible. I don’t think we could have done any better and couldn’t have had any better managing team then Funded Today. If you’re going to run a Kickstarter campaign use the best, use Funded Today and don’t waste your time.”
“We brought on Funded Today for the last 2 weeks and we went from $10,000 in the first 3 weeks to $40,000 in the last 2 weeks—we went from on pace of being $15,000 to reaching $50,000. Results-based—that’s what it comes down to—and Funded Today got that for us. Again, it’s all about getting eyeballs onto your campaign, and we did a lot of work to try to do that, and Funded Today was phenomenal—working with their team, great communication (getting back to us all hours of the day, weekends, things like that)—they were great!”
“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”
“Funded Today did a good job for me. I’m sitting in a park right now in Shanghai, China! Now, I’m enjoying an international trip here in a beautiful park. I’ve done two (2) campaigns. The first one I did on my own and I said I’d never do another Kickstarter. It was just that consuming and really a lot of work. It dawned on me a few months later that perhaps with the right team and the right skillset, that maybe it would be worth doing more Kickstarter campaigns as we got going. Funded Today did some advertising tests and they weren’t going well enough so Zach, the CEO and CoFounder of Funded Today, along with Thomas, proposed that we revamp the campaign, redo the video, and change the page design and messaging to be broader. So, we took their recommendation and used them to do those changes for us. We paid for those services. That made all the difference! They turned what would have been a failed $20,000 campaign into about a $185,000 campaign, much different than what I could have brought to the table myself. I wholly endorse Funded Today and their ability to do some big things on the Kickstarter and IndieGoGo crowdfunding platforms.”

“Funded Today is really amazing! It’s our pleasure to work with such an efficient team. And we do appreciate their effort to make our campaign a big success.”
“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.”
“Your business went above and beyond what I expected, extremely professional!”
“I just wanted to give a shout-out to Funded Today and thank them for all of the success they brought to our campaign. We could have have got to that $1.3 million mark without them. And so I just wanted to let everybody know how important it is to reach out to Funded Today. These guys are experts at what they do. They know exactly how to run your campaign, run your Facebook ads, and all of your social media marketing. They find exactly what works and then they ‘dump the gas’ on to those methods that are bringing back a positive ROI (Return on Investment). And so we’ll definitely use Funded Today in the future and work with them on future projects. They’ve definitely added a lot of value to our campaign. Thanks Funded Today!”

“My sister and I have been investors in small companies for a long time. We recently were defrauded out of a lot of money, so she was gun shy working with Funded Today. Easy now as Funded Today have done everything they have said and more. She is pretty pleased I made her sign the contract”
“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.”
“We met with other folks who have worked with Funded Today and asked if they could do it all over again would they and a vast majority of them said yes they would. We reached out to Funded Today and learned their business model. There would be a 3-7 day validation period where they run a bunch of ads to see if there is some sort of ROI that could make them money and make us money and keep the customers happy. Ultimately we decided to go with Funded Today and very happy we did. Being Entrepreneur it’s about calculated risks and taking Funded Today on as a partner has been a risk I would take over and over again for future crowdfunding campaigns that we do. I’m very pleased with Funded Today and have nothing but positive things to say about them.”
“[W]ith the help of Funded Today, we really had a successful campaign. They are result-driven and they are the real deal. Thanks to their customer service, we were able to achieve results and really hit the ball out of the park. And we were super-happy to have used their services. I would definitely use them for our next Kickstarter campaign, and I would definitely recommend any other project creator out there that wants results and wants to boost their Kickstarter campaign.”

“Really cool experience working with Funded Today. They were really responsive and on time. The whole campaign experience was really good and something we will definitely be doing again.”
“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.”
“I trust Funded Today. They seem like they’ve been doing this for a period of time.”
“We reached out to Funded Today who after 5 days of marketing ended up holding the reigns of our marketing. Funded Today helped us double our pledges. Leaving us 600% funded and we raised $62,000 in total. Funded Today really knows what they are doing and I highly recommend them.”

“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.”
