Industry City announced that Fundraise Up, an AI-powered fundraising platform for nonprofits including UNICEF USA, the American Heart Association, the World Health Organization Foundation, has opened its newly-inked headquarters at the 16-building, 35-acre campus in Sunset Park.
The company’s new headquarters encompasses 15,000 s/f, located in Building 3, with room to grow as the company continues to scale. Founded in 2017, Fundraise Up has experienced rapid growth over the past year and expects to more than double its employee count by year-end.
“More often than not, when the founders of a newly-funded startup walk through the door, they want a pre-built space that is plug-and-play,” said Kathe Kramer Chase, Director of Leasing at Industry City. “The goal is to be up and running immediately while spending very little capital in hopes that the space will be quickly outgrown.
NEW BEDFORD Staying home and working remotely during the pandemic hasn’t been an option for Jeff Glassman and his staff.
“We’re a very labor-intensive business,” said Glassman, chief executive of Darn It!, a New Bedford-based warehouse, distribution and garment repair business.
Glassman said his staff of nearly 80 sewers and warehouse workers have been back on the job for eight months.
“It took a few months to get the staff back,” he said.
“Our business is certainly down,” especially Glassman says, compared to the first quarter of 2020. “But we’re busy now and very lucky to be in the position we are today.”
