Resilia is a New Orleans-based B2B SaaS company that helps nonprofits build organizational capacity and helps funders - foundations, corporations, governments and banks - go beyond the grant with coaching, technical assistance, and impact intelligence. Founded by serial entrepreneur Sevetri Wilson (who first built the nonprofit-formation tool ExemptMeNow), the two-sided platform pairs on-demand courses, templates and fundraising tools for grassroots organizations with dashboards that let grantmakers track and scale impact across their portfolios. Resilia raised a $35M Series B in 2022 - the largest venture round ever for a solo Black-female-founded tech company.
The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI) is a philanthropy and technology organization founded in 2015 by Priscilla Chan and Mark Zuckerberg, structured as an LLC. Once spanning education, science, justice reform and housing, CZI has refocused on a single audacious goal: helping scientists cure, prevent or manage all disease by the end of the century. Its flagship CZ Biohub network now builds AI 'virtual cell' models, generates massive biological datasets, and ships free open-source tools so researchers everywhere can move faster.
