How a Social Entrepreneur Raised $18 Million


A Fireside Chat with Pat Walsh, Co-Founder, Classy.Org


Back in 2006, a group of friends wanted to dedicate some of their spare time to fundraise for an important cause that was near and dear to their hearts — the fight against cancer.


Their initial fundraising initiative was simple… really simple. The idea was to get their friends together for a pub crawl in Pacific Beach, San Diego and donate the extra cash to the American Cancer Society.


Nine years later, Classy is the world’s fastest growing fundraising platform for social impact organizations. Since 2011, they've enabled millions of people across 300K individual campaigns to help fund more than 1,800 organizations. From cutting-edge health programs to educational advancement, their customers are tackling the world’s greatest challenges with the power of the Classy platform. Most recently, they raised $18m from Peter Thiel - cofounder of PayPal and Palantir, and investor in Facebook, LinkedIn, Yelp, etc.
