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 $9.19mn. Our total campaign duration was 8 weeks. Funded Today has got access to thousands of crowdfunding campaigns and they’ve built a community of early adopters out of it. They were able to get our campaign in front of the right audience who are mavens, early adopters of technology and innovative products. We couldn’t have done that using only facebook ads.”
Merino Tech 2.0: Raised CA$ 156,609
“We worked with Funded Today for just one week and it was a really amazing one week! They helped us more than double our pledges in just one week! We really appreciated their work. And we look forward to another cooperation with Funded Today for our next campaign.”
Garlic Shakers: Raised $50,843
“Funded Today did a really great job at helping us put together a really good paid advertising campaign and lots of other cross promotions with other campaigns. Thanks a lot Funded Today we appreciate you working with us.”
“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.”
“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.”
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 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.”
“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”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
"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.”
Roost Laptop Stands: Raised $785,724
“Funded Today came onboard after $200,000 and was part of raising an additional $500,000 to reach out final goal of $780,000. They were very communicative and they absolutely were in line with my needs as a creator. Funded Today were extremely good at what they did and they were receptive to strategy ideas I had. They did really well in all aspects. Two thumbs up from me and the Roost Stand.”
“Thanks Funded Today. You did a great job and absolutely exceeded my expectations. I am sure we will be working with Funded Today in the future. We have about six projects were working on right now but various stages our intent is to always use Funded Today for all of our projects. We are just trying to set the calendar to figure out which we should do first. I should know in the next week I would be glad to share that calendar with Funded Today once we’re there.”
“Funded Today’s Creative Services division redid my video. The first one I did just wasn’t quite there. They also redid my page design, my story, and my entire Kickstarter campaign. I was about going to do $15,000 with my own projections, but with Funded Today’s help, my campaign did $225,000, to date. Largely, this is because of the rework they did for me. I wholeheartedly recommend their services and feel that they do a superior, professional job and definitely know what they are doing with crowdfunding campaigns.”
“The experience with the Funded Today Team has been a dream. The team members have been responsive, knowledgeable, and have been a pleasure to work with.”
“Thank you very much for Funded Today’s help. We’ll definitely do our next project with Funded Today. Great job!”
“Funded Today did a fantastic job! Keep up the good work!”
AUS-ION Cookware: Raised AU$ 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.”
“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.”
