Slovakia | 09 January 2025Funded Today (and Jordan David for that matter) is this typical American scam company. Frankly there were red flags from day one. Like literary in 2 months in "being in contact with them" I have solved nothing. There is little to no information on the web. They BS you with their cheap marketing slogans while they don’t give a F about you and your project at all. Beyond the first email and a follow up email you don’t get any reply from them, they just don’t communicate. Making stupid excuses like faulty software, vacation, sickness, privacy...or whatever. Skype call confirmed and canceled 3 times by them. When you get the call, it’s delayed and without any apology for being late or any heads up...hey i will be late. When you are on the phone, they want to get rid of you as soon as possible. They never ask you any questions...how can you deal with me if you have no idea about me? They lie on the phone as I found out after comparing the written email information to the phone call...I have a recording of the phone call, and I have the email so you cannot prove me wrong about this. They lie about other stuff as I found out after consultation with Indiegogo. You will find out that their limited marketing information on the web...."eee we don’t do that anymore, it’s an old model". I guess their whole model is to just lure as many people as possible to just sell them some stupid email newsletter for 800$ and that’s it. They never plan to work with you, they never intend to proceed with all marketing strategies for you to succeed, they take you as guaranteed failure from day one, unless you are a million+ dollar company, perhaps, then they will go beyond the stupid newsletter. Liars, avoid them. You see positive reviews here because they were requested by them and you don’t see more negative reviews here because people are just tired of them and don’t want to hear about them ever again but you can find bad reviews on other websites...just google it.

United States | 10 July 2024Funded Today completely misled us into a contract with them. Had we known the truth of what they were going to “deliver” we would have never hired them for our campaign. What we were told they would do was completely false and we have emails to prove it. Happy to share with anyone so you don’t go through the same thing we went through. Do not use Funded today for your project, you will regret it.

United Kingdom | 02 October 2023They keep sending generic cold emails, getting quite aggressive when one doesn't respond - and I literally mean passive aggressive to the max. Their reviews are also so bad - just search for them on Reddit to hear all the horror stories. Proper scam artists - I hope this agency really just goes away! Ironically, I just received another cold, automated bot follow up email saying "What's your problem? We're gonna book you in for a call regardless". These are very aggressive scammer tactics. Simply search on Reddit before using them is all I can say.

United States | 20 September 2023Hire Funded Today at your own risk. .we hired them for marketing our Kickstarter program and it was the worst mistake we could have made. Jordan David, the sleezy salesman (felt like a used car salesman in the way they are portrayed in the movies), slick talked his way through a presentation and once we paid the $2500 fee, disappeared and had "his team" doing the "work" which he then indicated he was not responsible for. They were non communicative, incompetent, not knowledgeable, and incapable of providing us the result that a quality company could. They took $400 for CrowdStock, which was supposed to automatically refill the available amounts of the product as they are pledged but it never happened and we had to manually track it due to supposed programming changes Kickstarter made. When asked for the contact from Jordan, he couldn't get one, even though he gave us the instructions to pay them. When i went to the site to fill out a contact form, it bounced back saying that jordan$crowdstock.io was no longer active. LOLOL, it's part of their company but they are saying it's not and won't provide the $400 refund even though ZERO work was done to earn that money. Not to mention, we ran social media ads and could tell every time they stopped due to a drop in activity and were told, oh we turned them off because you ran out of money, oh wait, you have money left, let's turn them back on?????? It's their business to drive sales and they can't either keep track of the ad spend or communicate to us that we needed to add more money to the budget? There is no portal to see any progress, you're flying totally blind and getting a response from anyone via Skype, the ONLY method they will communicate, is impossible. When I tried to have a call with Jordan he asked "what's it about? If it's about the ads, I can't help you ask Josh" It was always someone else's problem unless he was trying to collect money. Billing was not aware of any of the prior pledges we had brought to the table and tried to charge us, they didn't know that we were told $500 of the $2500 was included in the ad spend, etc. Needless to say, I would not recommend this company, I know their response is going to be "well you made X dollars compared to your original campaign which made a lot less" which is an unacceptable answer when our internal goal was a lot higher and COULD have been obtained if not for the inept service. I tried to reach out to a founder of the company and got NOTHING. Bad news, you've been warned.

Canada | 17 August 2023I booked a newsletter with a few companies. Funded.Today being one of them. I booked everything with them and sent the required access for my kickstarter project. I sent followup requests when the project launched and never heard back from the Funded.Today Team. I sent an email about 5 days after launch asking for a refund and then they proceeded to tell me that they don't do refunds even though the service wasn't even attempted to be delivered. He then went to explain that there's multiple companies under the same umbrella which essentially use the same resources and end up charging you twice. This was not disclosed so I wanted to get a refund and didn't want to work with them. They then basically told me to go away and refuse to do a refund. I'm also filing a police report against them.

Thailand | 28 January 2023The cashback program is not working at all. I registered for the cashback program and shared the link on a post that had thousands of views, and the system did not report any clicks.

United States | 30 November 2022I paid this company $2,500 to help my Kickstarter campaign and all I got out of it was two 20 minute phone calls and a 71 page manual which was not relevant to my needs. Don't trust this company.

Canada | 17 October 2022Perhaps the worst marketing agency I worked with.

Italy | 17 July 2022Premise: our Kickstarter project wasn't successful and we're fully aware that this is not (only) caused Funded Today's. It's a series of things that just didn't work out well. However, our experience with Funded Today has been horrible and we couldn't be more disappointed. We purchased a pre-campaign and the newsletter + ads services, for a total of 5.500 USD. During the pre-campaign phase, we experienced: - A confusing and approximate planning. We've been forced to postpone our launch multiple times because Funded Today missed all the deadlines multiple times or made silly mistakes. - An awful Email Lead Generation landing page. The first version was dramatic, and they started promoting it with a wrong project name, a wrong URL slug, a completely misleading design and without waiting for our approval, also wasting some of our ads budget. The second version was slightly better, but still not even close to our expectations. And the ELG performance has been extremely poor, as expected. During the live campaign: - The results from ads have also been disappointing, but the experience here was not that dramatic and they communicated with us in a more accurate and timely manner. - About the newsletter, we're wondering how is it possible that we obtained only a hundreds of views from a mailing list with hundreds of thousands of subscribers (as they claim). Maybe Funded Today's mailing list quality and its open rate are not as good as they say, and definitely not worth the extremely high price they ask for. And then, the cherry on top: - At the end of the campaign, they sent a survey to all our backers, on our behalf and using our account, asking for their personal data (i.e. email address) with a scammy form and without prior approval from us. This is not just illegal, it's also extremely unfair. In conclusion, working with Funded Today has been a complete waste of time and money. We had to postpone the launch for several weeks, they stole email addresses from our backers sending a scammy survey on our behalf and they've been unclear, hasty, inaccurate most of the time. And — most importantly — they disappeared and started to ignore all our messages when the it was clear that the project wouldn't have reached the goal. This is so unprofessional and unfair that it's really hard to believe. If you're about to launch a project on Kickstarter, do yourself a favor: avoid Funded Today. Please. I also reported all of the above to Kickstarter, as I believe it is in their interest not to be associated, affiliated or linked to Funded Today. We're now considering to take legal action. If you also had a similar experience with them, send me a message. I've read hundreds of bad reviews like mine and I'm pretty sure we can join forces for a class action.

United States | 04 March 2022They kept chasing us to work with them and convinced us that they would help us succeed with our Kickstarter. We paid them for Kickstarter design, newsletter and ads. After payment, funded today went quiet for 2 weeks, and then finally started with the design. Their first draft was horrible, the second edit round made it even worse. And by that time, we were 6 weeks further! Delays upon delays and lie on a lie, funded today kept us running behind them as soon as we paid. We hired a freelancer to design the page for us. It took her 4 days and we were ready to launch. If it was not for Funded today. They didn't reply for 1 week, and then told us they would need 3 more weeks before we could go live. 3 more weeks on top of their massive delay already... but we did not have a choice. We paid them, they didn't want to refund us, so we kept waiting. We launched, finally, 5 weeks ago. After 2 days, funded today totalled us $650. 650 dollars!!!!! That's all these scammers got us! No support, no help, only that our product was not good and they needed to stop their efforts. Hold on, they chased us before we even went live with our campaign, with daily emails from Jordan. Their scammy sales tactics made us lose 3 months of our time, expenses totalling over $8000 and nothing to show for it. If you have a dream of launching a successful Kickstarter then DO NOT listen to their stories and do not go overboard when they send you daily emails. They do not have your interests in mind, only their bank account and will drop you as soon as you paid them.

United States | 16 February 2022I am just starting my project and I am working with Funded Today. Jordan is awesome and very honest. We look forward to a long term relationship with him and Funded Today

United States | 15 February 2022They reached out to us and said "Thanks again for submitting to our page the other day! We appreciate the opportunity to potentially partner with us on your upcoming crowdfunding campaign! " We don't have anything to do with the product they are talking about so we were able to call them on their lie, so don't buy it

Ukraine | 19 November 2021I do not advise dealing with them. We contacted Funded Today on the recommendation of our colleagues when our Kickstarter campaign had already started and raised the first $ 20k. We were promised decent results and a lot of opportunities for working with Facebook and e-mail distribution in the backers database. As a result, they set up advertising on Facebook much worse than our specialists and there were no results at all, and their mailing gave additional sales of about $ 5k ... we got all the rest of the income from backers passively, without the efforts of people from Fund Today. For all their services, they billed us about $ 8k, which did not correspond to the work performed at all. Manager Jordan stopped responding to our messages altogether when he realized that they had done their job poorly. P.S. In addition, be aware that they can steal your customer base and edit your Kickstarter campaign without your consent, which was also in our case.

Australia | 20 October 2021I was hesitant to use Funded Today at first as there were some bad reviews on some online websites. However, after speaking with their sales manager(Jordan). I've changed my mind completely, he is very friendly, helpful and professional. He showed me some examples of other campaigns and how much they helped to raise. I am quickly convinced and proceed to go with their email list service. I am very pleased with the result, the email list brought in over 100 backers and approximately $6k in funding which result in a good ROI. I will highly recommend their email and cashback services as it would definitely work if you have a good product!

India | 14 June 2021It's always great to work with the Funded Today team. They always deliver when needed the most! Great experience & good job guys! When our campaign got stagnated, they gave the required push which managed to earn it over $50,000!

United States | 26 May 2021Funded Today came on and got us immediate traction with their proprietary new channel which led to our project having a very strong finish. We are thankful for their professionalism and help!

Ukraine | 19 January 2021We had a positive experience working with FT on our MadClockMaker project. When we launched our campaign by ourselves we gathered $ 7,000 by the 10th day of the campaign. Then we decided to collaborate with FT, who helped us to raise near $41,000 in 35 days. This fact also impacted our organic traffic so we were able to raise $78,014 by the end of the campaign. We would like to mention great communication with FT team, who helped and support us during all the period via Skype. Generally, we got the best results thanks to their several services as - FB ads - newsletter and cashback newsletter - new channel - posts on social media.
