Kelly McMahon, SVP, Global Operations, LG Ad Solutions, said it best “Partnering with PilotDesk has allowed us to curate our ad breaks and optimize in ways we hadn’t been able to before. We were able to focus more on strategic initiatives, less on manual tasks, maximizing our ad inventory's potential, and ensuring our inventory has maximum impact for our clients."

Congratulations to the team at Givebutter on securing a $50M investment led by Bessemer Venture Partners' BVP Forge, with continued support from us at Ardent Venture Partners. Your dedication to revolutionizing nonprofit technology continues to inspire. This milestone is not just a testament to your hard work but also to the impactful future ahead. Here’s to more innovation, impact, and butter puns! 🎉🧈
I'm thrilled to announce that Givebutter has received a $50M investment led by Bessemer Venture Partners' BVP Forge, alongside our existing investor Ardent Venture Partners! We are honored to join the ranks of Bessemer’s iconic portfolio, which includes many hugely successful software businesses we look up to, such as Shopify, Canva, and Toast. For too long, nonprofits have been bogged down by an overwhelming number of software solutions largely stuck in the past. Changemakers deserve better, and this investment will supercharge our mission to help changemakers do it all. I first met Navid Oreizy a few years ago here in Austin, and every few months we’ve gotten to know each other better over ☕️ and 🌮’s. An expert on the nonprofit software landscape, Navid shared our conviction that Givebutter was the emerging leader in our space (and that butter puns must continue at all-time highs). I’m grateful for his support and couldn’t be more excited to work alongside him, Brian Cramer, and Kathryn Scott in the journey ahead. We’ve come such a long way, and this milestone is a testament to the hard work of the Givebutter team and our incredible community of changemakers who inspire us daily. Nearly $2B in donations and counting, and we’re just getting started. Now that is worth a toast! 🍞🧈 Oh, and happy Earth Day and Passover (and also my birthday) 🥳 https://lnkd.in/gSsTHWXJ
