Fundraising intelligence platform Dataro is adding two well-known nonprofit sector technology executives to its team. Salvatore Salpietro, a founding employee of Fundraise Up and most recently its chief community officer, is joining Dataro as chief growth officer. Serial entrepreneur Jay Love is joining as an advisor.
Love has been lead investor for fundraising solutions including Practivated, Givezy, Instrumentl, and Givebutter. He had been chief executive officer at Bloomerang and eTapestry.
Salpietro will be responsible for expanding Dataro’s market reach and forging strategic partnerships. “Dataro’s mission — to enable every nonprofit to make a bigger impact with AI — is exactly what the sector needs in today’s world,” Salpietro said via a statement. “I’ve always been a builder and an operator, and the opportunity to join the Dataro team as its first non-founder executive and scale a company with such a clear and powerful vision couldn’t be ignored.”
Salpietro won’t be straying far from Fundraise Up. His first focus at Dataro will be working with nonprofits and strategic partners such as Fundraise Up. “We’ve seen that when a nonprofit combines Fundraise Up’s strength in AI-driven conversion and donor acquisition with Dataro’s predictive AI for growth and retention, they are creating a truly efficient and complete, end-to-end fundraising engine. But this is only the beginning of the opportunities available to the sector.”
Dataro allows nonprofits to predict donor behavior, build more personalized campaigns, streamline tasks such as prospect research, and make data-driven decisions that drive growth and deepen donor relationships.
Launched in Australia, it is a U.S.-based firm which also has operations in the United Kingdom. It has more than 300 users and roughly 30 employees, including San Francisco-based CEO Tim Paris. “Right now our industry is at a crossroads as AI reshapes how every organization operates, and many nonprofits are feeling both the promise and the pressure of that shift,” Paris said via a statement.
