With years of experience in fundraising, founding and working with nonprofits, and studying the nonprofit sector at graduate and law school, Nejeed Kassam saw the potential for more to be done to strengthen the organizations and professionals who work tirelessly every day to make our society better. That’s why he founded Keela, a complete software solution for nonprofits looking to grow revenue, manage data, track performance, and deepen their donor engagement. 

Join Nejeed and Jim as they discuss nonprofits and how Keela can help them use technology  to do more for their communities. They’ll talk about the digital transformation of non-profit operations, the shift in mindset required to scale a business, and the transparency needed with your team to better communicate and prioritize as you grow.

3 Key Takeaways

  • Create Your Own Growth Formula: Nejeed is happy to veer from the typical growth formula for his company to be more intentional and drive the business forward in the best way he can. He says it best, “it's not growth at all costs. It's growth in the right way, in the most repeatable, scalable, repeatable way”. 
  • Be Careful About What You Build: Scaling your business usually comes with a drastic change to the way you’ve been doing things. Your focus shifts, your mindset shifts, and you find what got you to your first milestone might not get you to the second, third, or fourth. Embrace the shift and don’t let the business stagnate.
  • Being a Good CEO = Being a Good Coach: A huge part of your role as the leader of a company is coaching your team to be their own leaders and tackle their own challenges. Sure, it might seem easier to do it all yourself at first, but that isn’t scalable. Empowering young leaders and teaching them to grow their skills will only help you and your business in the long run.

ABOUT OUR GUEST

After years of fundraising, founding and working with nonprofits, authoring a book about change, and studying more about the nonprofit sector at graduate and law school, Nejeed Kassam realized more had to be done to strengthen the organizations and professionals who work tirelessly every day, to make our society better.

Nejeed believes a strong nonprofit sector is fundamental to our freedom, harmony, protection, success, and growth as a society. Keela was born out of a desire to strengthen the nonprofit sector. Nejeed understands that technology is more than capable of transforming the way we work, fundraise, build relationships with donors and do good, and Keela’s tools are setting the pace for the future of the nonprofit sector.
