The group set out to build an “all-in-one” solution after noticing a gap in the fragmented software landscape for non-profits, which Verstra Ventures managing director Matan Hazanov described in a statement as “a historically underserved and underdeveloped market.” While more competition in the non-profit tech space has emerged since Micharity first launched, Nour claimed that COVID-19 has weeded out some other firms and led to consolidation across the sector. Among companies that remain, Nour believes that Micharity’s client-led approach, ease-of-use, and affordable price point differentiates the firm’s platform. GreenSky partner Neil Peet said that GreenSky was impressed by the consistent growth that Micharity has achieved since its inception, with minimal external funding. “We are excited to see what they are able to accomplish with sufficient capital to invest in their team on the sales and technology side,” Peet told BetaKit. Prior to its Series A financing, Micharity bootstrapped before raising a total of only $960,000 in 2019 from the Ontario Centre of Innovation and Brown Capital. According to Nour, Micharity has been profitable since its early days, and has always taken care to balance growth and efficiency due to the sector it serves. “We were always growing at a certain point, but also conservative in terms of how we spend our money,” said Nour. “At the end of the day, we work with non-profits.” To date, this approach has served Micharity well as it has navigated the COVID-19 pandemic and now the tech correction and economic downturn, which have hit many non-profits hard. “The [Micharity] team is incredibly strong and resilient, working together through some challenging situations, and without taking on any additional capital,” Peet said. For his part, Peet believes Micharity is well-positioned to make good on its plans to grow south of the border and move into new markets. “When you have a robust product, with customers who love the platform, and a negative churn rate, you are well positioned to grow into new markets across Canada and the US,” he said. In 2021, Micharity generated almost $4 million in revenue. Last calendar year, the startup surpassed $5 million. Nour is hopeful that the company’s US expansion will help it reach $8 million or $9 million in revenue in 2023. Over the longer term, Nour sees room for Micharity to expand overseas. The CEO also identified potential for the startup to leverage the tech it has built and expand into new areas beyond non-profits, such as political fundraising. Feature image courtesy Micharity.
