Simon Keast reacted on thisSimon Keast reacted on thisToday, we're excited to announce Susan Walker as our new Chief Financial Officer. Susan brings more than 30 years of finance and business strategy experience to Actabl as we help hotel leaders use trusted data and artificial intelligence to improve financial performance. “Based in Silicon Valley, I have a front-row seat to how quickly AI is reshaping business,” she said. “I looked at a range of companies, and Actabl stood out as one positioned to win with AI because its products already underpin financial decisions and day-to-day operations for hotel companies. I know as a CFO what it means to need confidence in your numbers and access to them the moment a question comes up. Hotel company leaders are facing real margin pressure, and the opportunity to help them make better decisions is what brought me here.” “We are thrilled Susan chose to join Actabl,” said our CEO, Steven Moore. “She is an exceptional finance leader and operator who immediately understood both the strength of the company and the opportunity ahead. She moves with pace, shares our values, and is a wonderful fit for our culture. Her perspective will be invaluable as we build Actabl’s next chapter.” Welcome, Susan!

Simon Keast reacted on thisMajor week of AI releases at Velora - again, focused on infusing AI where the work already takes place, where are our customers are already familiar First, a new automation feature in our CRM (Keela) - you can now build your automated donor journey with AI prompts and Mission Assistant - our AI foundation for nonprofit operations - turns your idea into an outreach workflow (no more clicking / dropdowns / filtering). We're proud to be the only prompt-to-workflow builder in the nonprofit sector! Second, at Raisely (our fundraising tool), you can now use Mission Assistant to get benchmarking data to understand fundraising performance, trained on millions of data points across the platform. See how your results compare with similar, anonymized campaigns! Exciting week at Velora! https://lnkd.in/gegffcHESimon Keast reacted on thisOur Automation feature just got a major upgrade! 🚀 Now in Keela, you can build an automated donor journey with a simple AI prompt. Describe the outcome you want, and Automation 2.0 uses Mission Assistant—our AI layer—to turn your idea into an outreach workflow. AI makes the work easier, but you're in control with the human touch that makes your donor relationships meaningful 💜 Learn more ➡️ https://lnkd.in/gxeRkZ8F

Simon Keast reacted on thisSimon Keast reacted on thisMission Assistant is officially out, and available for all - Mission Assistant is aptly named: it doesn't replace, but amplifies, the humans behind the grimy, challenging operations work at a nonprofit For people who spend way too much time in admin, and not enough time in mission, this is our solution for you. Like skills in Cursor or Claude, Mission Assistant has "workflows" that take you through customized, nonprofit specific workflows, like filing a form 990, or building your board deck Join the Velora AI Innovation Program as an Early Adopter and experience early stages of AI intelligence built for charitable organizations and nonprofits. https://lnkd.in/guJNRnTG

Simon Keast liked thisSimon Keast liked thisIf you’re an operator curious about venture, you may already have more relevant experience than you think. Sofia Vegarra worked at Stride Health, Uber, and Keep Company, with exposure to investing through Bessemer Venture Partners and Georgetown Angel Investor Network. She joined the SomosVC Fellowship in Fall 2023 while considering her next move. “I was looking for my next role at the time and hearing from the speakers and the other fellows really helped me figure out what I wanted to do next.” Her path has since spanned sourcing, talent, and portfolio management —different ways to put an operator’s experience to work in venture. Now part of the TEDCO team, she works as a Senior Investment Team Portfolio Manager. SomosVC applications are open for aspiring investors who want to learn how venture works, hear directly from people hiring, and discover where their own experience fits.

Simon Keast reacted on thisSimon Keast reacted on thisAnother exciting day at Velora. This time our fundraising tool (Keela) is getting a major, AI-powered, upgrade. That's right, you read that correctly: we re-imagined Keela's automation tool to be agentic and natural language-driven Background - Keela offers a custom workflow automation tool built for nonprofits. It uses "if-this-then-that" conditional logic to trigger automated emails, update donor databases, manage event and volunteer sign-ups, and assign internal staff tasks—saving time on manual administration. Our new automation enables an experience where you no longer need to click around a UI to build your segments, create your campaigns, you now have the ability to use Mission Assistant (our agent) to build workflows much faster and much more tailored. What's more, the new automation boasts higher performance, faster cycle times and is an all-around more delightful experience A powerful extension of our vision of how to use AI to help nonprofits: infuse it where the work already takes place. Thousands of customers were already building automations. We're just making it happen faster and easier. We've been intending to re-imagine our automation tool for a while and a team led by Marco Santos, Nina O and Natalie F. took what would have been a six-month project and got it done in essentially six weeks end-to-end, a testament to what 10x teams can do, unleashed by AI!
