WizeHive

What WizeHive does

WizeHive was a cloud-based software company, founded in 2008 and headquartered in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania, that built a platform for launching, managing, and measuring grant and application programs and corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives. The company served five distinct verticals — corporations, government agencies, foundations, nonprofits, and universities — with a horizontal SaaS platform spanning grant application intake, review workflows, award distribution, post-award management, fraud prevention, and impact reporting. Core products included a Grants & Application Management platform and a CSR Program suite with modules for employee giving, employee volunteering (including the Volunteering Experiences by WeHero brand acquired in 2023), corporate grants and community investments, relief funds, scholarships and fellowships, awards management, and an Impact Wallet for consolidated impact tracking.

The platform's underlying technology combined configurable application workflows with funds-distribution tracking, an Impact Wallet data layer, a public API (v4 documented), and a native Microsoft Teams integration. Revenue mechanics were not publicly disclosed but followed a B2B enterprise SaaS model with direct sales supported by content marketing (case studies, the Impact Audio podcast, The Review newsletter, monthly demos) targeting CSR and social-impact practitioners. WizeHive received early-stage capital from Gabriel Investments, Goldin Ventures, Mid-Atlantic Angel Group, Keiretsu Forum Northwest, and Robin Hood Ventures, followed by a 2021 growth equity investment from LLR Partners. In March 2023, WizeHive merged with WeHero to combine corporate giving software with curated volunteering experiences; in August 2024, the company was acquired by Submittable and consolidated into Submittable's portfolio of social-impact technology brands.
