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.”
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 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!”
“I want to give my stamp of approval—there’s no way that I could have gotten to 300% of my overall goal without using Funded Today. So, you should definitely consider using them. And good luck with your campaign. And they should definitely help you with reaching the goal that you ultimately want to obtain—and that is to make your product or service a reality.”
“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.”
“My experience with Funded Today has been phenomenal. I would highly recommend it. My advice would be to figure out if your campaign can afford it—look at the margins on your products and, then, if you do have high-enough margins, and you have the capital to be able to invest in it, I would say 100% ‘go for it.’ Without Funded Today, we would not have made our target—we would for sure not have made our goal—and we’ve surpassed it and we still have 6 days left in the campaign. The communication has been my favorite part—there’s been excellent commuinication. The whole team is really working with us and letting us know what’s going on at all times. So, overall, I give Funded Today two thumbs-up and I would recommend it highly.”

“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.”
“Everything went great. Wish we would have hired you sooner.”
”Period of Comfort” Panties: Raised $109,348
“We worked with Funded Today for our campaign. We raised over $100,000 thanks to them. They are very simple and very easy to work with and they’re very professional. I hope to work with them on our next campaigns.”
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 $20,000 goal! We could not have done it without Funded Today! They have extremely good resources and they know what they are doing when it comes to Kickstarter marketing. A couple of things I really liked about Funded Today was their team. They have an awesome cross collaborations, PR, and Facebook marketing personnel. And so, honestly, they really killed it for us and we’re glad we signed on with them!”
Qi Aerista: Raised HK$ 1,343,877
“We would like to share with you our appreciation for Funded Today’s efforts in helping our Kickstarter campaign. We brought in Funded Today late in our campaign and we’re excited to see the additional funding support from Funded Today’s efforts. The additional support helped move our project forward tremendously. In the future, we would not hesitate in working with Funded Today again for a subsequent crowdfunding campaign.”
“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 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!”
“I love you guys. Your enthusiasm makes my day. Thanks for the positivity—I couldn’t have been more grateful I chose you.”
“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] helped us make a really compelling video that I think contibuted to the success of our project. And, then, … they hooked us up with a web designer who was really instrumental in creating a great Kickstarter page. We were really thrilled with both of those. And we found everyone that interacted with at Funded Today to be very responsive and also very professional. As for the campaign itself, we worked directly with a marketing specialist who signed our product and he was very communicative—kept us informed on what was happening with our different ad strategies, what was working, was wasn’t working, what adjustments we needed to make. So, we were very happy with the communication he gave us and the overall success of getting backers to support our project. We reached over twice our funding goal and had over 300 backers, which (for our small project) we were really thilled with.”
“Overall, our Kickstarter campaign (Olarm) raised almost $200,000, so we're very proud of that, especially for our first campaign. We attribute a lot of that effort to the good work that Funded Today did for us.”
“Thanks for the help! It has been a great experience working with FT! Very professional!”
“Ever since we signed on to Funded Today, literally the sales and everything, the funding has just gone skyrocket. The cross-promotions, everything they’ve been doing for us is just brilliant, so we’re more than thankful for them.”
“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.”
“Funded Today generated $115,111 in pledges for our Kickstarter project. We also used about 3 other companies who said they’d generate pledges for us, but we didn’t see any results from them. Funded Today actually generated pledges. We could see & track the pledges coming in on our Kickstarter dashboard. We’re very happy with the results!”
“We were in the process of trying to set up our Kickstarter campaign and realized that we needed help—a lot of it. We researched a number of companies who work with creators and after settling on our top 3, we proceeded to interviews. Our team was most impressed with the professionalism and follow through at Funded Today. Our project manager is Jordan David and he has been continuously available to help us navigate the numerous pitfals present when getting a successful campaign up and running. He also helped coordinate the other members of the Funded Today team—from getting our video made, to professional product photos, to setting up our landing page, and to developing a pre-launch ad campaign that resulted in an email list that we could use the day of the launch to get off to a fantastic start. During the campaign, Funded Today also helped advise us on best practices for reward levels, updates, and cross promotions. There is no question that our pledge amount would be a fraction of what it is now if we had not been partnered with Funded Today.”
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.”
