Overview:

A better crowdfunding experience.

Seed’s overarching mission was to build delightful products that made doing the “right” thing faster, easier, and more transparent than ever before. Campaigns hosted on Seed raised $200k+ for folks in need in less than 8 weeks.

Giving needs a refresh.

Our team identified the 3 major pitfalls of modern donation platforms.

  2. Giving is tedious: cross-platform friction to get to payment is high enough to discourage donations.
