This week on The Exit: Adam sits down with us to share his journey of exiting when the offer was too good to refuse. After a varied career from volleyball coach to starting an MBA, Adam eventually ended up in Major Gifts Fundraising, where he came up with the business Gavyty, an artificial intelligence company developing productivity and data security for fundraisers. Adam quickly realized users weren't engaging with his product as he expected, but with a small nuanced shift to focus on email usage, customers quickly began using the product regularly and the business grew to generating over $1M in revenue quarterly. In 2019, exit conversations started but the board was pushing to scale more. With three PE firms vying to acquire the business it was only a matter of time before one made an offer too good to resist. Listen to find out how the acquisition went, and Adam's tips on when is the right time to exit. Adam Martel is currently the CEO and Founder of Givzey. Givzey is the first AI-enabled fintech company specifically developed for the social good sector with a focus on providing donors flexible giving options and enabling nonprofit organizations easier and quicker access to capital to accelerate their world-changing missions.

Repeat founder Adam Martel went to work for Babson College as a major gifts fundraiser in order to get his MBA for free. While at Babson he identified the problem Gravyty is addressing and met his co-founder Rich Palmer. Gravyty attracted early support from Christopher Mirabile’s LaunchPad Venture Group. The company just completed a $2 million plus raise to ramp up its growth. A really sparkling interview with two outstanding leaders. Adam Martel, former coach, and full-time fundraiser at a college, tried to start a couple of businesses but realized he needed a co-founder to improve his odds of success. Adam decided to quit his job and go to work at Babson College where he could get his MBA for free. Adam’s motivation was to find a co-founder at Babson. Rich Palmer, a fellow MBA student, had worked on Wall Street building quantitative models. They hit it off and have made a great founding team. From Adam’s work at Babson it was obvious that each fundraiser needed help in identifying which of their more than a hundred assigned potential donors to prioritize. Rich Palmer was confident he could build software that would provide that intelligence. Rich used to build systems to predict which stocks were likely to pop. He and Adam found that predicting donations had a lot in common with that. It was easy to sell management on the platform; the problem was that fundraisers were no logging in; which is the real measure of success for this type of platform. Adam and Rich discovered the “three screens” principle, i.e. people have three screens they’ll look at: their calendar, their email and their database. It’s hard to get them to look at a fourth screen. The solution to the login problem was to incorporate all the insights from the platform in emails addressed to the fundraisers. This approach was a big game changer. The product is called “First Draft” and provides, in addition to predictions of who is most likely to give, content which is intelligently adapted to the individual fundraiser’s writing style. Christopher Mirabile and Ham Lord were initially not convinced that there was a big market for the company but they were so impressed by Adam and Rich that they scheduled a series of meetings. After each meeting Ham and Christopher got more and more impressed with the team from Gravyty and decided to invest. LaunchPad early on impressed on Gravyty the need to have a board. Adam and Rich signed on eagerly, much to their credit. Too many founders perceive boards as “grumpy dogs” that have to be “managed. Christopher and Ham were provided great help. Christopher thinks Gravyty has the perfect set up for the board, two members representing the common shareholders (founders), two members representing preferred shareholders (investors) and one independent member with industry experience; perfect for the early years. Gravyty is 100% SaaS. Gravyty Live provides support for fundraisers, a profession plagued by high turnover, who frequently need to be brought up to speed on their new accounts. Gravyty has achieved great SEO and leads their category for search terms. Adam’s experience as a sports coach has served him well in his work of team building in his companies. Of particular value is the ability of getting people to do the things that need to get done. Working as a college fundraiser taught Adam to listen and to build relationships. These skills translated to raising money for Gravyty. Adam and Christopher fifteen-minute call every two weeks and this has been highly fruitful. Christopher sees three functions for early=stage companies: (1) support in execution, (2) different perspectives, and (3) mentorship. A really meaty podcast!

My guest on the podcast this week is Adam Martel, CEO of GravytyDuring his career, Adam founded three companies and had a diverse and eclectic background in advertising, public relations, journalism and collegiate athletic coaching. His passion, however, is with fundraising. Being a seasoned major gifts fundraiser himself, he has gained a deep and personal understanding of the challenges that all nonprofit organizations face while trying to raise money to support their causes.Solving these challenges is his mission – hence he founded Gravyty, a Boston-based artificial intelligence company developing products to revolutionize frontline fundraising at nonprofit organizations.During our interview, we explore how to unlock potential beyond the value conventional business software provides us, what drives the opportunity, and what mindset is required to uncover and create completely new markets. Here are some quotes from Adam:“…we found that because we were using the CRM as the primary tool for fundraising, it was limiting the number of donors that I could get to.The thesis was that if you could have your technology learn you instead of you learning your technology, we could change the way that frontline fundraisers and sales folks interact with their tools. The tools could actually help them and be a multiplier for their efforts in building relationships. That's really where we started. We've come a long way since then but the thesis is still the same.Blackbaud, Salesforce, Ellucian and Community Brands, they're all selling databases. They're all selling the cup that holds the water, but nobody's doing anything with the water itself.We think that our work in artificial intelligence is going to define the next 5 to 10 years of what happens in fundraising in non‑profit organizationsThis isn't about Gravyty, it's about our customers. It's about the wonderful work that our customers are doing. If we can accelerate cancer research, if we can help eradicate HIV, if we can change the world and help these organizations change the world, it's our job to do that. They don't need to fit into us, we need to accelerate them”.By listening to this interview, you will learn three things:1) That for AI to reach its full potential it requires to change behaviors, not just provide insights2) That looking for abundance can provide the key to introduce transformative change3) Why UI-less experiences are the enabler for people to become far more powerful See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Today we are talking to Rich Palmer, the CTO and Co-Founder of Gravyty. And we discuss using artificial intelligence for philanthropic purposes, how the quest for AI dominance is the new space race, and the humanization of technology versus the mechanization of people. All of this right here, right now on the Modern CTO Podcast.
