Blackbaud

Nonprofit fundraising software on dated technology, hurt by a breach and ripe for modern CRM.

Background

The disruption thesis

Modern fundraising and donor CRM with open integrations, AI-driven retention, and transparent tiered pricing can win nonprofits frustrated by Blackbaud's dated UX and 2020 breach.
