Why Brushfire?

We saw obvious areas of overlap between the initiatives of Access Ventures and the skills and passion of the Brushfire team. Nearly all of our portfolio companies are in need of Brushfire services in one way or another. More importantly, the team builds leading-edge products for a host of companies seeking to impact the world for good.

The company has a long history of building products for the social sector, including iDonate, Givr, and Compassion International.

The company has a strong brand within a large, growing industry. In addition to brand positioning, they have expertise in areas that are poised for strong growth, such as education and agriculture.

How We Helped

We participated in an equity round of investment that provided growth capital necessary for Brushfire to expand its services deeper into the industries it serves. In addition to capital investment, we have also joined the board of directors to assist the team with its growth initiatives.
