Prizeo is a privately owned internet company based in Los Angeles, California. It is an online fundraising platform that enables clients to mobilize their fan bases to raise funds and awareness for their chosen causes. Prizeo takes a 10% commission on the funds it raises. In June 2015, it was announced that Prizeo had been acquired by tech mogul Todd Wagner. The terms of the deal were not disclosed.〔 ==History== As undergraduates at Oxford University, co-founders Bryan Baum and Leo Seigal worked with the Aloysius Society, a philanthropic group that organized high-priced charity events. The society raised $1 million running auctions, but Baum and Seigal were frustrated at the cost of their fundraising strategy and the lack of scale. In 2012 the duo teamed up with co-founder Andrej Pancik to create Prizeo, a fundraising website with a raffle-type model. In January 2013, Prizeo participated in the technology start-up incubator Y Combinator’s Winter 2013 program. In June 2013, Prizeo announced a $2.5 million seed funding round led by Battery Ventures. Other investors in the round included William Morris Endeavor, Edgar Bronfman, Jr., and ZhenFund (Sequoia Capital’s seed fund in China).〔 In August 2014, the co-founders launched an offshoot platform, the crowd-funded merchandise website Represent.com.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Why 'Arrow' Star Stephen Amell Is Saying "F--- Cancer" for Charity - Hollywood Reporter )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Prizeo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
