As an entrepreneur working with a small team, preparing to launch our project on Kickstarter was—to put it bluntly—overwhelming. Not only did we have almost no time to prepare and a very limited marketing budget, we also had little to no expectation on how we could put this project on a successful trajectory. But then we met Funding Insider. Our collaboration together was more than just signing with an agency; it marked the beginning of a strategic partnership dedicated to our success.
Drawing on extensive crowdfunding experience and powerful data, the Funding Insider team guided us through every stage of the Kickstarter journey. From content planning and marketing strategy to overall campaign optimization, we received personalized guidance that was extremely effective for our branding. Most notably, during the video and landing-page production process, Funding Insider offered countless creative ideas that helped position Gymbly as a leading product in its category and laid the foundation for our success.
Their support became even more crucial when Kickstarter rejected our project’s first draft. Relying on their deep expertise, Funding Insider took full responsibility and helped us resolve the issue quickly. Then, by analyzing more than 300,000 Kickstarter campaigns, they determined our projected performance and pinpointed the ideal launch window, enabling us to restart at the most advantageous moment.
Ultimately, Funding Insider proved to be far more than a team that simply produces videos or manages marketing. Through data-driven insights, proprietary automation tools, and deep operational expertise, they anticipated challenges, solved problems, and played a decisive role in our campaign’s success. We will continue working with them for our upcoming series funding projects, as well as for our future product launches. They have become a strategic partner we trust not just for execution, but for long-term growth.
Funding Insider’s survey system, crowdfunding analysis platform, and newsletter marketing services were all immensely helpful for our campaign.
Thanks to Funding Insider’s shipping survey, we were able to save over $100,000 on shipping costs, while integrated add-on upsells increased our profits by an additional tens of thousands of dollars. Usually, when it comes to Kickstarter shipping logistics, a company’s operations can be boggled down for a month or longer trying to get everything together. But Funding Insider’s automated survey system and reminders to backers who didn’t complete their surveys helped us quickly send out rewards to all of our backers with a high degree of precision. We’ve launched 5 Kickstarter campaigns now, and each time, we’ve been highly satisfied with Funding Insider’s shipping survey service.
For the last 6 years, the Funding Insider analytics platform has provided us with real-time data from over 280,000 Kickstarter campaigns on a category basis. This allowed us to properly budget and plan the best launch time and date for each of our campaigns. And with Funding Insider’s country data, we were also able to precisely target which countries to launch our marketing and promotional campaigns. Popular category keywords also let us write effective copy for our Kickstarter pages and maximize the efficiency of our advertising campaigns. The advertising rank analysis program also let us cut back on campaigns that weren’t meeting our standards. Other helpful statistics, like average campaign run-time and funding goals, were key to our strategy as well.
Finally, thanks to Funding Insider’s network of over 100,000 Kickstarter and Indiegogo backers, we were able to boost our newsletter marketing results by tens of thousands of dollars.
Thanks to all of these processes, Funding Insider helped us raise our profits beyond expectations. With their automated backer survey, advertising analysis data, and insider analysis, Funding Insider is more than an agency: they are our valued crowdfunding partner.
Since 2024, we’ve collaborated with Funding Insider across 2 campaigns, using their all-in-one crowdfunding, shipping survey and data analysis services.
The best part of working with Funding Insider was how their commitment to our campaign made it really feel like we were part of something bigger. Incorporation, copywriting, video production, marketing, customer service... each of these services left us satisfied with Funding Insider’s systematic and professional capabilities. And thanks to Funding Insider’s help securing real reviews from real people, our campaign was able to attract interest from buyers all around the world.
The Funding Insider crowdfunding analysis platform helped us get the right strategy for each of our campaigns. With data from more Kickstarter campaigns than we could count, we were able to benchmark our campaign goals and plan our campaign launch date to a T. Once we got our campaign timing just right, we then went on to achieve extraordinarily successful campaign results, in no small part due to Funding Insider’s help. Global backer statistics were especially helpful with our marketing and content creation efforts.
Shipping was also a breeze thanks to Funding Insider. As a small company, if we had tried to tackle the shipping survey ourselves, who knows if our backers would have ever gotten their rewards? But the Funding Insider survey was automatic, which reduced our shipping burden immensely while also keeping our backers well-informed of their deadlines. We also got a lot of extra add-ons sales from the shipping phase, thanks in no small part to upsells from the shipping survey. The ad efficiency and keyword ranking tools were another way Funding Insider helped us prevent wasted spending. Though we had a limited marketing budget, these tools helped us get the most out of our marketing campaign.
The Funding Insider newsletter community also helped us reach more backers and get more funding than we could have hoped for by ourselves.
Overall, we were able to go above and beyond our crowdfunding goals in no small part due to Funding Insider’s shipping, advertising, newsletter, and other services. We are incredibly happy to have had the opportunity to work with them.
