Online giving continues to grow, but many nonprofits are held back by legacy solutions that inhibit donor engagement and slow donation growth.

@FundraiseUp works to improve the donor experience, offering AI-driven, data-guided tools designed to help nonprofit organizations engage with current and prospective donors, increase conversion, enable modern payment methods and personalize the giving experience.

We are thrilled to partner with the Fundraise Up team, including CEO Peter Byrnes and co-Founders Yuriy Smirnov and Anton Isaykin as well as with existing investors Telescope Partners to help drive meaningful impact for nonprofits seeking to leverage technology to enhance their fundraising efforts. Welcome to #TheSummitPartnersNetwork!

“While we’ve all heard of AI’s transformative potential, the specifics can sometimes sound like techy buzzwords at best. In engaging with thought leaders across industries and through my work with companies across the Summit portfolio, however, I see several exciting areas in which AI is beginning to drive business impact.”

In this latest installment of Summit’s Operationalizing AI series, Summit’s VP of Data Science, Sharon Lin, shares her take on four key areas that she believes hold some of the most exciting potential for growth businesses.

We began our partnership with @RelexSolutions in 2015 as the company's first institutional investor, and we are incredibly proud of the company’s growth and innovation in the nearly decade since.

We’re honored to be named to @Inc Magazine's 2024 Founder-Friendly Investors list, and we’re grateful to the founders and executive teams who have trusted us – and worked alongside us – as their partner in growth.

For over 40 years, Summit has had the privilege of collaborating with hundreds of executives and management teams – partnering with more than 90 founder-led companies in the last five years alone. This experience has fostered a deep appreciation for the courage and vision required to start a business, and the tenacity and talent needed to grow it profitably.

We are proud to support these growth journeys – and we look forward to many more.

Award selections are determined based on Inc.’s evaluation of each nominated private equity, venture capital and debt firm’s ability to remain actively involved with the businesses they invest in and earn the trust of the entrepreneurs they support to help drive growth. To compile the list, Inc. spoke directly with entrepreneurs who have sold to private equity, venture capital and debt firms. Entrepreneurs filled out a questionnaire about their experiences partnering with private equity, venture capital, and debt firms and shared data on how their portfolio companies have grown during these partnerships.

To view the full list of honorees and read more about the selection methodology, visit Inc.’s website.

This award is the opinion of the party conferring the award and not of Summit Partners. The 2024 list of Founder-Friendly Investors, issued by Inc. on October 29, 2024, was based on the time period January 2019 through May 2024. Summit Partners submitted a nomination and paid a fee to submit a nomination to Inc. There can be no assurance that other providers or surveys would reach the same conclusion as the party conferring the award referenced herein.
