Hi everyone,

Funded Today approached me a couple of days after I launched my campaign.
The pricing model, which they shared with me was: "We charge $2,500 upfront and then take either 15% or 25%"

When I've asked if they worked with similar campaigns in the past (for yoga & fitness brands), they've shared with me 2 links. I was able to reach out to one of the owners of the campaigns, who confirmed that he NEVER worked with Funded Today, since they wanted to charge the percentage on top of all the funds raised including the funds they raised prior to Funded Today (which is ridiculous).

I'm very glad I was able to discover the truth and I can't believe that companies still use such cheap tactics in order to get more customers.

Wow, and they profess to be honest.

Wow, which campaigns and who from FT contacted you?

ok thx

I am glad I read this forum about funded today.
I have recently launched and weighing up a few ideas on PR and these guys were one of the option.
Thank gosh for this forum!

If anyone wants to check out my campaign or give me any tips/feedback to reach the US market, I would be very grateful!

Glad to read these messages too. Like many people here, I have considered this company to help us with our PR. What they are charging is, in my opinion way too much.

I'd stay away from these kind of things - always a big risk.

If true, that is pretty bad...

Let us know if you use anyone else, and let us know how it works out.

I think they are hit or miss really
