Fundly’s New Facebook App (and CEO’s 2010 re-cap)

Today we announced a new Facebook application [Press Release Here], which is a first in the industry. Check it out and see how to turn Facebook fans into donors and fundraisers! With this application you can turn 100 donations into 115 donations and reach an additional 8,900 people with your message.

I would also like to use this opportunity to re-cap (better late than never) some of our successes of the past year.

In 2010, Fundly:

  • Moved our company from Boston to Silicon Valley and took on the name Fundly Inc.
  • Launched the industry’s first Facebook and online social fundraising application
  • Doubled revenues as compared to 2009
  • Became a gold standard platform for political fundraising on both sides of the aisle:
  •  50% of senatorial races
  •  33% of gubernatorial races
  •  Prominent candidates like Barbara Boxer and Meg Whitman
  •  Prominent committees like the NRCC and the DGA
  •  Gained significant traction in non-profit fundraising
  •  Added more than 100 non-profit customers
  •  Supported $millions in non-profit fundraising, highlighting the power of social fundraising
  •  Prominent customers in education and broader non-profit include University of Massachusetts, Silicon Valley Education Foundation, Boston College, and Magic Wand Foundation.
  •  Topped the $200M mark in fundraising for cause-based organizations
  •  Assembled a world-class team, including:
  •  Jeremy Burton, CTO, co-founder of Symbian
  •  Clayton Christensen, advisor, author of “The Innovator’s Dilemma”
  •  Michael Tanne, board member, co-founder of AdForce and angel investor
  •  Mitch Kapor, advisor, author of the modern spreadsheet
  •  Ben Golub, advisor, former CEO of Plaxo and current CEO of Gluster
  •  Muhammed Chaudhry, advisor, CEO of Silicon Valley Education Foundation
We could not have done this without your help!
