History

The company was founded in March 2016 by Gret Glyer, in response to what he saw as poor management of aid money by large aid organisations.[2][3] Glyer raised $150,000 in seed funding to build the platform on web, iOS and Android and launched it on 26 September 2016.[4] Two weeks after launch, Glyer appeared on the Tom Woods show to talk about DonorSee.[5] In October 2016, DonorSee was listed in USA Today as one of the best ways to give to those affected by Hurricane Matthew in Haiti.[6]

On January 26, 2017, the Peace Corps issued a ban preventing their volunteers from using DonorSee.[7][8] Glyer subsequently initiated a Change.org petition asking that President Trump intervene and lift the ban.[8]

On June 24, 2022, Glyer was found shot dead in his home. Police were investigating the shooting as a homicide.[9]
