Company mission

To democratize philanthropy for the masses, by making charity a standard component of employee compensation and ensuring that everyone has access to the same giving tools as the ultra-wealthy.

Our take

Groundswell is a corporate giving platform that is enabling companies to manage their philanthropic giving and employee volunteering programs. By providing a centralized platform for managing philanthropic ventures, Groundswell is helping businesses make a difference and create a more sustainable future for all.

With a unique focus on impact measurement, Groundswell offers a range of analytic tools that enable companies to track the impact of their giving campaigns and volunteer programs and communicate that impact to stakeholders. This can be a powerful tool for companies looking to demonstrate their commitment to the rising demands of social responsibility and sustainability.

Backed by Google Ventures, Groundswell has already received significant funding despite having only launched in 2021. Already the company is well-positioned in working toward its mission of creating a more sustainable earth.

Company values

  • Trust: Integrity, trust, and respect are table stakes for our team.
  • Diversity: We value diversity not for its own sake but because we staunchly believe different experiences and perspectives will make us better. Oh, and we think diverse workplaces are simply more fun and interesting.
  • Humility: Your pedigree isn’t what will earn you respect around here. Your competence and humility will. It doesn’t matter to us whether you’re coming from the School of Hard Knocks or an Ivy League.
  • Change: If you don’t have an unabashed belief that you can make the world a better place, then you should go work at Amazon and help ship cat food faster.
  • Hustle: Our mission is too important and vision too bold to simply show up and mail it in. You must enjoy the hustle and grind. Don’t expect rest and vest joy ride.
  • Celebrate: We want teammates that we are eager to see on Monday morning because they make our lives richer.
  • Growth: We seek and give feedback, not for agreement or consensus, but to get to the best idea. Groupthink leads to Groupsink.
