We’ve helped youth, children, families, schools, and nonprofit organizations across the U.S. raise millions for people, causes, and events they care about. You can create a great fundraiser by yourself. But if you have a team, invite team members to have their own page and rally support. All donations are collected in a single account but every team member gets to promote the fundraiser and get recognized! We do verify your email. We currently support fundraisers in the U.S. and Canada. There’s a simple form to describe your fundraiser, you can add your image or video. Add or verify your bank account or debit card to receive payments and you’re ready to launch! We know you hate surprise…from piggybackr.com

    I built this for anyone whose business revolves around funded startups — whether you're a VC tracking new raises, a sales team targeting high-growth companies, a recruiter staffing fast-scaling teams, or an agency looking for clients with fresh capital to spend. The problem I kept running into: Crunchbase has data but no contacts. Apollo has contacts but isn't curated for VC-backed companies. PitchBook and CB Insights are $5–25K/year and overkill for most use cases. We manually verify every contact and add 500+ new leads monthly.
