After graduating from the Founder Institute accelerator program in July 2018, Ultimatum is now in public beta, and their new website enables customers to turn everyday engagement on social media into donations for nonprofits. As part of their public release, Ultimatum is proud to announce partnerships with five charities: RedRover, The Dru Project, Students for Change, Hearing the Homeless, and The Matthew Shepard Foundation.
San Francisco, CA, September 12, 2018 --(PR.com)-- Ultimatum Inc. co-founders Matthew McCabe and Steve Regester dream of empowering people to have a positive impact on the world. To do that, they launched a new website called Ultimatum, enabling customers to turn everyday engagement on social media into donations for nonprofits.
In April 2018, Ultimatum was featured at Collision Conference as a BETA Startup. The following month, they partnered with The Dru Project during their private beta and had a hugely successful campaign, driving over 5,000 engagements and 17+ million impressions on Twitter.
Sara Grossman, Communications Director at The Dru Project, noted that "The fusion of social media and fundraising has been a tough egg to crack. I've worked on campaigns for nonprofits for years now, and Ultimatum provides a unique take on this particular kind of fundraising. They've helped The Dru Project gain new friends, fans, and donors from all around the world."
