Beringer Capital (“Beringer”), a leading North American private equity firm specializing in the information, marketing, and technology sectors, is proud to announce it has made a significant investment in Fort Myers-based VeraData Holdings, LLC (“VeraData”).

“We’re excited to partner with VeraData, a company that has disrupted the NFP market with its state-of-the-art analytical capabilities, industry expertise, and extremely capable team, What’s more, we are highly gratified to be partners in a business that helps charitable missions achieve their worthwhile causes by driving acquisition and retention of passionate donors at a level of scale and efficiency that, historically, only the largest and most sophisticated commercial enterprises have been able to achieve.”

Built upon data, creativity, and outreach execution, VeraData helps clients anticipate donor behaviour and execute campaigns in the most effective and impactful way.

Together with its highly collaborative approach, performance-based pricing, and campaign execution capabilities, VeraData provides a differentiated experience and end-to-end support for donor acquisition, reactivation, and beyond.
“We founded VeraData because we knew we could help mission-oriented organizations raise money more effectively by bringing them the power of data and analytics – something we felt the industry had failed to sufficiently utilize. Since then, our team, partners, and clients have helped us raise the bar in the industry and provide charities the kind of support they deserve, Our partnership with Beringer will help us build on our advantage, leveraging their value creation methodologies, expertise in sales and marketing, and innovative approach. Together, we’re ready to achieve the next level of growth and scale.”
