Israeli corporate volunteering company Vee has raised $12 million in a seed round, less than a year after launching its platform, the company announced this week.
The round was led by State of Mind Ventures, with noted Israeli VCs Oryzn Capital, Vertex, and Viola Ventures, and well-known angel investors including Eynat Guez of Papaya Global, Amir Shevat of Innovation Endeavors, Gil Hirsch of StreamElements, and Guy Shamir of Mivtach Shamir.
Vee bridges the gap between people and teams who want to give back and nonprofits seeking qualified volunteers. Hosting a wide range of volunteering opportunities, such as food aid, animal welfare, youth mentoring, and environmental initiatives, Vee enables HR teams to easily find, coordinate and share charity events, and in effect to build a community for giving back inside the company.
Vee currently has over 500 companies and organizations on its platform, among them eBay, Booking.com, Salesforce, and Columbia University. The platform is active in ten different countries and logs in hundreds of new activities per week.
