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.”
“Overall, was a good experience—very professional service.”
“We worked with Funded Today and started a campaign on Kickstarter. We raised almost $250,000 and over 1,000 backers all over the world. We want to thank Funded Today.”
“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.”
“We were so excited when Funded Today agreed to come on board as our marketing partner. They are experts at online marketing and were constantly testing new demographics for us. Funded Today not only helps us reach out minimum goal they got us to $70,000 in pledges in less than two weeks. Our only regret is not bringing them on board sooner. We highly recommend Funded Today.”
“Around mid-campaign when things usually slow down, we brought in FT to help maintain momentum. We could immediately tell the difference! Our trajectory increased sharply from that point, and finished up very strong at over 1000% funded! When we do our next Kickstarter campaign, we’ll definitely look at bringing on FT at the beginning. They have a proven track record, and I can say we enjoyed working with them.”
“Great experience. Would recommend.”
Ultimate Belts: Raised $180,326
“This is the 2nd time we’ve teamed up with the folks at FUNDED TODAY to boost our Kickstarter campaign and we can say without hesitation ”The are awesome!” In both instances FT gave our projects a BIG push upward, adding thousands of backers and a lot more sales. Without their efforts we would have had only mediocre success on KS, not the over the top record-breaking success they provided. They are real pros at what they do and cover all the bases. Moving ahead, we look forward to working together again—for a 3rd time!”
Born To Fly Baby: Raised AU $35,472
“Thank you so much for all of Funded Today’s efforts. Funded Today’s conclusions also align with our own efforts, although the click through rate that Jill achieved was higher than ours so we know Funded Today has been doing a fabulous job :-) The unexpected thing we found is that the product is wildly popular, but that it is not suited to crowdfunding. It is better placed in the retail/commercial sales world. Fortunately, we have had great success in this area and are currently in negotiations regarding signing on with Australia’s largest carseat and stroller brand, and have all but secured massive distribution agreements with Scandinavia, South Korea and the Middle East—which has a lucrative potential well beyond what we anticipated. Thank you for providing a great service, and if we have any more products more suited to the Kickstarter platform in the future, we will be sure to repeat the same process with Funded Today again.”
“We wanted this product to reach much more wider audiences. Later on we heard about Funded Today. After some research we found lots of successful campaigns that Funded Today has done before and most of them are top raised Kickstarter campaigns. We decided to give them a try and they actually did an amazing job on the campaign. Thank you Funded Today you guys are awesome!”

“Eventually we started working with Funded Today and my only regret is that we didn’t start working with them sooner. Not only did Funded Today help us reach our goal but they helped us grow our customer base and triple our funding. Funded Today brought more eyeballs to our website in return lead to more sales.”
“We were dead in the water with no traction and then Funded Today came into the picture. They did a test for us to make sure that it was viable for them. I was a little worried about it I thought they were just taking our money but we passed the test. They ended up raising about $1,000 a day for the last 10-12 days and in the end without them we would not have been able to fund our project. We’re very happy and off to the races and Funded Today had a big part of that.”
“You delivered what you promised and even more. Wasn’t really surprised about anything. I feel that what you told us and promised was met.”
Merino Tech 2.0: Raised CA$ 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.”
“Worth every penny! Everyone is doing fantastic, I’m so happy all the way around. I love this experience!”
“Our over all experience with FT was great. They did all that they could with what they had to help make the project a success.”
”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.”
“I have just launched the Saxmonica on kickstarter with a certain amount of apprehension prior to the start. Early on in this project I spent a lot of time reading up on crowd funding and the services offered to assist with getting pledges. I looked at a lot of bad reviews but there was a consistent thread that indicated Funded Today were several steps above the others. The review that finally did it was the one that said Funded Today was the heavy weight of the industry. That sealed it for me so once I contacted them they responded on time every time with a full professional attitude and as a result the opening week of my campaign had completely blown away my initial goals. As a lone dreamer inventor with a very limited social network I realised that I did not have the means to really push this on kickstarter so I made the decision to get the professionals in. Marketing is a skill that requires dedication and commitment and I felt I was a much better inventor than marketer. Absolutely critical to me is developing a procedure that dosnt waste my time and likewise I don’t waste other people’s time. So I am always looking for people that respond on time, don’t exaggerate claims and lay down a smooth path to follow. Funded Today has in my mind excelled in all the areas that are critical to me. I have several further products and would have no hesitation to engage them again for further crowd funding projects.”
“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.”
“Funded Today was flexible and willing to work with us in some of our unique circumstances. Gave good advice throughout our campaign and most importantly delivered results. Every bit of advice that I can recall that Funded Today had given us about what to expect with our campaign based on their experience turned out to be correct. Funded Today was always easy to reach and had numerous calls outside normal business hours. This was very helpful to me as I was still working at my day job and was working on our Kickstarter campaign on nights and weekends. We already had a successful Kickstarter campaign but Funded Today greatly boosted our raise. We engaged other marketing firms and by a wide margin Funded Today delivered the strongest results.”
“I was contemplating whether I wanted to partner with Funded Today from Day 45 down to Day 18 and I finally made the best decision of my life, and I wish I would have brought them on the minute I heard about them and they reached out to me because they showed me how to have a good, successful Kickstarter campaign and I cannot thank them enough! We ended up raising $561,000 but we also now have over 3,000 customers and over 1,500 new members to our website and we’re now able to upsell those customers with add-ons, that led to another $25,000. We have happy customers because Funded Today got us great new backers as well. They handled all of our cross promotions. You don’t have to handle paying for ads, you don’t have to handle very much PR and Funded Today teaches you that PR is huge, but, that comes with time and you don’t need to be spending too much time with PR when you have a new company. Funded Today will drastically change your campaign because they know what they are doing because they do this every single day. They are also IndieGoGo’s #1 Partner so they can help you out on IndieGoGo-InDemand as well. I want to thank Funded Today. They are great people, they are ethical and value-based and they truly enjoy changing project creators life because they really want us to succeed. Don’t even think about it if you’re considering hiring Funded Today, just do it. If you were to do this on your own, you’re going to have to spend $20,000, maybe even $100,000, just in ads, to reach the goals of what they can do, and they cover all of that ad spend for you, upfront, before you pay them from the funds received from Kickstarter. I’m pumped! My life is changed because of Funded Today. It was incredible. One of our video guys, we’re able to pay him more. We’re hiring ad men now. We have a company now and it’s all because of Funded Today!”
JOEY Backpack: Raised $233,656
“We brought Funded Today on about 10 before the end. We really liked that they made contact immediately and got all of our materials. They used those marketing materials for their own campaign. Their communication was open and honest and they were reached easily. They raised a little under $35,000 in roughly 9 days, which spiked the end of our campaign and spiked our campaign and influenced the algorithms on Kickstarter. They really helped our campaign. Funded Today charged a percentage of the profits and while daunting at first, it’s definitely worth out and turned out to be our best decision towards the end of our Kickstarter campaign. The results Funded Today achieved could not be done by anyone else.”
“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.”
