The AI support team that helps nonprofits stay focused on impact
Turning under-resourced founders into fundable, operationally tight organizations

Nonprofit founders are carrying 5 jobs on 1 salary.
They're expected to:
When funding tightens and staff are cut, all of this collapses back onto one person. Promising orgs plateau at $300–600k or quietly shut down — not for lack of impact, but for lack of backbone.
Our initial focus: orgs that already proved they can raise $400k–$1M.
This hits founders of color especially hard, as equity-era funding retrenches.
These leaders don't need another tool. They need a backbone.
Existing solutions don't fit this stage.
CRMs, grant tools, accounting, email… Founders don't have time to integrate and maintain them.
Project-based, expensive, seen as "overhead." Advice without ongoing responsibility.
There is no integrated, AI-native backbone designed for $400k–$1M orgs that have real relationships but no team.
Director is an AI-native backbone and forward-deployed team for nonprofits.
We plug into an existing org and donor base and give them the leadership bench they can't afford to rebuild alone.
Director is built around major gifts and real relationships, not grant roulette.
Director is a relationship and revenue engine, not a shot-in-the-dark grant factory.
Pods scale from 4 → 8 → 16 orgs as the OS and agents mature.
Mature core agents handle repetitive tasks. Same structure supports more orgs.
2+ FDDs. Standardized playbooks. Agents do recurring work.
One pane of glass for an org's backbone.
Major gifts map, warm pipeline, next-best actions
Live cash forecasts, budget vs actuals visibility
Recurring task engine, checklists, playbooks
Board decks, funder reports, impact one-pagers
Data flows in from email, calendar, finance systems, docs, and existing CRMs.
Specialized agents do the repetitive work; humans do the judgment.
Agents explore, compile, and draft. FDDs and Directors review, edit, and decide.
Director makes a serious backbone affordable and scalable.
As Pods scale, pod-level gross margins expand while keeping human leadership involvement high.
Two timing curves are intersecting.
Director sits at this intersection: an AI-native backbone delivered by a lean, forward-deployed team to orgs that cannot justify rebuilding full in-house leadership.
We start where we already have pull.
First 2–4 orgs from founders you're already effectively "directing."
Target leaders who proved they can raise $400k–$1M but had to cut staff.
Position Director as capacity-building that makes grantees more investable.
AI-native vertical SaaS with embedded forward-deployed team.
Small, high-leverage founding team with 12 months of runway.
Vision, sales, fundraising, relationships
Nonprofit ops + fundraising, embedded across first ~4 orgs
Finance + ops across pod, designs playbooks
Director OS + first wave of agents
Target raise: ~$1M for 12 months runway. Early org retainers reduce net burn.
