Harness
venVelo has approved an initial investment in Harness, which is revolutionizing the way organizations collect from and connect with their donors. Harness has made the process smarter, more efficient, and highly personal. The Harness Platform allows organizations to acquire new, loyal, lifetime supporters at a fraction of historical costs. Harness has coined the term “Connected Giving” that is becoming widely accepted by thought leaders within the non-profit space. Harness white-labels its platform for each client organization, creating a seamless experience for its donors. The result is a diverse group of loyal supporters that are consistently gratified for their small, painless donations. Harness will be venVelo’s first investment in Tampa.
