🚀 Fundraising is evolving—and early immersion in cadence-based tools is shaping the next generation of superstar fundraisers. In a recent study, we found that in their first six months on the job, fundraisers using cadence-based software had 4x the interactions of those using traditional outreach (see graph below). Those using cadence-based software were also able to secure 2.7x more donor meetings than their peers using traditional methods.

GovXS is team of 4 experts in social choice theory, modeling and simulations, and token engineering: A) Dr. Nimrod Talmon, Assistant Professor, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, B) Angela Kreitenweis, Founder, TE Academy, C) Eyal Nek-Briman PhD Candidate, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, D) Muhammad Idrees, Protocol Engineer, Stateless Solutions 10/ The impact presented in GovXS's Retro Funding Round 6 application is undeniable, bringing fresh insights to the Optimism Retro Funding program.
