Birmingham-based tech startup Swell Fundraising is growing with the launch of a new product.
Swell Fundraising launched its 2012 as a platform to help nonprofits raise more money at events by using mobile tools. The platform provides tools for everything from ticket sales to real-time giving presented visually. Until now, Swell has sold an entire platform; now, it's launching a smaller, cheaper product called
Swell Slides.
The Slides app is basically a piece of the overall platform that allows someone to create a custom interactive screen display for a fundraising event. It's a piece of the larger platform, and it's a lot cheaper: There's a $150 sign-up fee, and then a $99 charge per event, which constitutes a 24-hour period.
