I just checked the Indiegogo Experts directory, and Funded Today is showing as having done just 3 crowdfunding campaigns as marketing partner: https://www.indiegogo.com/partners/fundedtoday

In January of 2017 they had 67 campaigns listed as partner, and $37 million raised. The internet archive has the history of their expert profile saved so you can see it: https://web.archive.org/web/20170103234 ... undedtoday

Know what that means? Indiegogo caught them doing something they were not supposed to be doing. Does anyone know what happened here?

Here are screenshots for the lazy who can't click links:

Perhaps they got wind of all the scam reports about them? They are not hard to find:

This is the most serious infraction I have ever seen. Indiegogo removing campaigns from an expert page is unheard of. It shows that they must have done something really bad, or gotten caught doing something.

My theory is that they were either paying campaigns to add them as a marketing collaborator, or giving them something for free in exchange for being added as a marketing collaborator. This would boost their numbers astronomically, and it would also be a massive fraud -- because they were scamming their way into being added as collaborators on big campaigns.

Someone should ask their founder what is going on, you can see his linkedin profile here.

Wow so Indiegogo stripped them of 65 campaigns? That has to be something huge to warrant such a penalty...

I think this article might mention why a little bit:

Thanks for the link and to the original OP

I wrote about this company 2 yrs ago regarding their business model.

I wonder if Dave has anything to say?
