    I've no problem with Funded Today as they're upfront as to what their services will cost, the % they'll take and what they'll offer clients. I think the due dilligence testing + high fee is pretty harsh, but it seems campaign owners know the risk and are informed.

    My point would be going back to how people perceive Funding/Marketing Agencies for Kickstarter Campaigns. Nathan Resnick wrote a stinging post years ago about FT and agencies in general: https://www.huffingtonpost.com/nathan-r ... 11662.html

    I've been on both sides of the coin - one of the projects I worked on passed the Funded Today vetting process, while the other didn't. It's nice when it passes, but an incredible money-sink when it doesn't. From what I know, Funded Today just runs ads for your project against saved audiences from every single related campaign they've run before. If one of the saved audiences "work" (aka produces a reasonable ROI), then they'll continue working on your campaign. Since they mostly run hardware campaigns, it's a tough one for people crowdfunding in other verticals.
