NeedsList operates a real-time needs registry that aggregates requests from vetted nonprofits and matches them with corporate resources to speed, improve efficiency, and increase transparency in disaster relief and humanitarian aid. The platform is led by co-founder and CEO Natasha Freidus and is based in Durham, NC. The company closed a $1M funding round after bootstrapping for its first two years and works with more than 20 partners across philanthropy, academia, and the private sector. NeedsList plans to use the new funding to invest in its technological infrastructure and build predictive analytics to meet needs at scale. Notable partners cited include TripAdvisor, Watkins (legal support), Kagan Accounting, IKEA North York, MIT’s ReACT program, The Shapiro Foundation, Five One Labs, Leaf Global Fintech, 734 Coffee, and Talent Beyond Boundaries.
