ATLANTA, July 14, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Fulcrum Equity Partners, a software-focused growth equity fund, has announced an $18M Series B in Virtuous, a responsive fundraising platform with integrated payments to help nonprofit ("NPOs") teams increase donations and improve donor retention. Existing investors MATH Venture Partners, Seven Peaks Ventures, and PHX Venture Partners also participated in the round.
The capital raise will go towards scaling the company's go-to-market motion, customer success, and product expansion. Virtuous will be hiring across most teams, searching for top tech talent in Arizona and across the US.
"Our growth is requiring us to move faster," shared Virtuous CEO Gabe Cooper. "We are already driving value to many of the world's top nonprofits, and this partnership with Fulcrum Equity Partners will accelerate our ability to serve nonprofits to grow global generosity."
Founded in 2014 and based in Phoenix, Arizona, Virtuous' platform is purpose-built and uniquely suited to solve for the challenges faced by non-profits today. Virtuous unifies fundraising, marketing, payments, and donor development activities, relieving teams of redundant back-office tasks, and surfacing the insights and signals needed to deliver personal donor experiences at scale.
"The NPO market is in the early stages of digital transformation, and we're excited to partner with Gabe and the rest of the management team at Virtuous to continue building as a leader in the sector," states Fulcrum Partner Jim Douglass. "The company's strong organic growth, customer retention rates, strong reputation, and growing market leadership is reflective of Virtuous' vision to bring the most innovative technology to its customers."
