Funded Today

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Not a notable company. The claims of "$140 million" raised refers to total funding raised by their clients, not to VC funding for the company itself. Power~enwiki (talk) 02:06, 2 September 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep The subject is notable since it is meeting WP:GNG as well as the Primary criteria of Notability (organizations and companies). This is a crowdfunding marketing company which has raised $140 million in total while marketing. No other agency or person in the world has raised more money for more projects. It is clearly mentioned in the article and has been cited in reliable references. Sources are from Forbes, Daily Herald (Utah), Standard-Examiner, Black Enterprise, KSL (radio) and others.

 * Delete -- This apparently small entity advises others how to use Indiegogo and Kickstarter to raise money. No indication that their involvement was crucial to the fund-raising effort (hanging on to other's success). No indication that it is any more than a two-person shop. WP lends credibility to their operation, which qualifies as promotion. Who did write the original article? Rhadow (talk) 12:30, 2 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete Does not meet WP:NCORP. Promotional article. MB 14:39, 2 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment -- Munozmayo has a dog in this fight. Editor account created yesterday is SPA to create subject article and Zach Smith. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rhadow (talk • contribs)
 * Delete: Agree that subject doesn't meet WP:GNG. Also, creator of article User:Munozmayo appears to be a WP:SPA to promote Funded Today and its leadership. See WP:PROMOTION. Lwarrenwiki (talk) 04:07, 3 September 2017 (UTC)
