Pre-Seed Round

Contribe is an impact startup based in Denmark that enables consumers to support charitable causes while shopping online. The platform integrates charitable giving into the e-commerce experience, allowing users to contribute to various causes effortlessly as they make purchases. This innovative approach not only enhances the shopping experience but also promotes social responsibility among consumers. With a growing trend in charitable donations, Contribe aims to capitalize on the increasing consumer interest in socially responsible shopping. The startup's recent funding round, which raised a total of $1.5 million, will be utilized to enhance its platform, expand its partnerships with e-commerce businesses, and increase marketing efforts to reach a broader audience. The funding will also support the development of new features that improve user engagement and streamline the donation process. This round was an extension of a previous pre-seed funding round that raised $1 million earlier in 2024. This funding round follows a broader wave of funding across Europe in adjacent segments such as loyalty technology and e-commerce, reflecting a growing interest in socially responsible business models. Contribe is strategically positioned to leverage the 8.4% rise in charitable donations observed in the region, tapping into the increasing consumer demand for ethical shopping alternatives.
