Graduway and Gravyty Announce Merger

The two companies merge to create the leading community and enablement software platform

LONDON and BOSTON, Dec. 6, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Graduway, the leading community software provider, today announced that it has merged with Gravyty, the leading AI fundraiser enablement software provider.  

The combined company works with 2,000+ schools, colleges, non-profits, and healthcare organizations globally and has offices in London, Boston, Seattle, and Tel Aviv.

Daniel Cohen, Founder and CEO of Graduway, commented, “Gravyty, under the leadership of Adam Martel, has built a world-class product and team, and we are thrilled at combining forces with them. The merger builds on the understanding that every organization has a community of supporters and friends willing to help if only they could be engaged. Moreover, every organization has a team of dedicated people who could do so much more if only the right tools and technology supported them. The Graduway and Gravyty merger enables this vision to become a reality by combining the power of community and technology to help our partners transform the world for the better.”

Lisa Alvezi, Vice President of Customer Success at Gravyty, commented, “The merger is a natural combination. Graduway brings world-class community software. It empowers organizations to build closer relationships with their constituents by facilitating valuable conversations and connections between parents, students, volunteers, alumni, and donors. Gravyty brings cutting-edge enablement software. Our patented technology uses AI and machine learning to go beyond insights and prompt teams to connect with their communities and fundraise at scale.”

The combined vision is for each partner to have their own community and enablement platform to empower their admission, alumni, and donor communities and enable their organization to scale their ambassador, mentoring, and fundraising campaigns. The goal is to deliver more ambassadors, mentors, and more donors for our partners.

“We have been using both companies’ products for several years and are very excited about the potential of combining Graduway’s best in class community software with Gravyty’s best in class fundraiser enablement software. We’re looking forward to seeing what further innovations this creates, particularly in the areas of AI and machine learning,” said Jennifer Gamache, Assistant Vice President of Annual Giving, and Bruce Berg, Senior Director of Prospect Development at Northeastern University.

Certain statements about K1 Investment Management LLC (“K1”) made by portfolio company executives herein are intended to illustrate K1's business relationship with such persons, including with respect to K1's facilities as a business partner, rather than K1's capabilities or expertise with respect to investment advisory services. Portfolio company executives were not compensated in connection with their participation, although they generally receive compensation and investment opportunities in connection with their portfolio company roles, and in certain cases are also owners of portfolio company securities and/or investors in K1-sponsored vehicles. Such compensation and investments subject participants to potential conflicts of interest in making the statements herein. For K1, “carbon neutral” means that any greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions derived from a defined scope of K1’s activities are balanced by an equivalent amount removed, including through our purchase of carbon credits. In this report, our “carbon neutral” status is based on our GHG emissions footprint calculated in accordance with the GHG Protocol as of December 31st, 2023 (comprising Scope 2 Electricity and Gas usage and certain Scope 3 categories: Business Travel and Employee Commuting), amounting to an estimated 3,497 metric tons CO2e. K1 then purchased and applied carbon credits in 2024, amounting to an estimated 6,994 metric tons of CO2e. We engaged a third party to assist with the calculation of K1’s estimated GHG emissions for 2023, but we did not obtain independent, third-party verification of our “carbon neutral” status. To address our 2023 emissions, we contributed to the Conservación y Captura de Carbono / Conservation and Carbon Capture (CO2LTZINGO) reforestation carbon removal project in Coltzingo, Mexico (CAR 1464). This project was certified by the Climate Action Reserve (CAR), using the Protocolo Forestal para México (PFM) Versión 1.5 / Mexico Forest Protocol Version 1.5 and the Guía de Cuantificación de Acervos de Carbono y Monitoreo del Proyecto Versión 1.5 / Project Monitoring and Carbon Stock Quantification Guidance Version 1.5 with a validation date of January 15th, 2019.
