A social enterprise company that has raised more than 46 million for charities in the past seven years has been recognised on a prestigious annual list of technology businesses.

Cause4 supports third sector organisations with strategy, fundraising and social development and raises an average of 500,000 for charities every month.

In the past year, the firm has invested heavily in digital strategy, helping its partners select the best services and partnerships to support their growth and maximise income.

It has now been recognised by entrepreneurship forum Silicon Valley Comes to the UK (SVC2UK) as one of the UK’s 50 hottest startups that have successfully scaled up.

If charities are going to survive in this post-Brexit environment, they have to take the same attitude to success as private sector companies

The list includes the fastest growing new businesses boasting an average growth of 47% over the past year.

Cause4 founder Michelle Wright said: “Charities that don’t make best use of technology will get left behind or face collapse.

“The charity sector deserves the same investment as the private sector.
