Summit Partners

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.
