CEO of Campground: Program Data in One Place [ex-Bain, founder of FutureMap, interim CEO All Raise]
It’s September, and that means for many orgs, it’s annual report season. How long does it take you to compile your program data for an annual report? At my old nonprofit FutureMap, it took a lot longer than we wanted. We started with a simple, foundational question which would be the baseline for any other metrics:?? How many students did we serve with our programs this year? ?? The process of answering this question was anything but simple. - We downloaded Zoom and Eventbrite reports - Copied the responses from 25 different Google Forms into one spreadsheet with 25 tabs - Exported various Airtables - Connected records? and copied over 100’s of data fields from each survey, form, etc. from all these different sources through VLOOKUP’s? - Removed duplicates if possible This was JUST to answer the most basic question of how many people we served. The actual data analysis on top of that around results, outcomes, demographics, etc. would take weeks. Followed by design. And we were relatively small (~300-500 students per year). This level of effort (a 2-3 month project that takes up full-time staff time or requires hiring a temp) is very typical for all the nonprofits I’ve worked with. One nonprofit that used Salesforce told me their entire team of 10 took 2 weeks off per quarter to do this type of data cleanup. ?? Very conservative estimate - That's more than 1000 hours of staff time per year spent on manual data cleanup work that doesn't directly add to program impact. And yet we know we need those metrics to fundraise in the future! ?? DM or comment if you’re interested in making this huge data cleanup effort vanish with the snap of a finger. My team at Campground Systems is providing a service to automate a lot of it!

CEO of Campground: Program Data in One Place [ex-Bain, founder of FutureMap, interim CEO All Raise]
Last week we convened a forum of Accelerator Program Leaders to discuss…what happens AFTER the accelerator program is over? Our event hosts?(me from?Campground Systems, Anand Deshpande at Mercury, and Keyaira Lock Adewunmi at the The Garage at Northwestern University in SF) wanted to create a forum of practitioners and peers to discuss this question. These takeaways should be relevant to any type of program or even VC platform trying to figure out how to keep program alumni engaged.? My takeaways:? ?? Community is a mandate for accelerator programs. (That’s probably why everyone who attended was so fun). Community events were the most common strategy to keep alumni activated and supported. Our panelists had a lot to share -- Sylvia Flores at Manos Accelerator highlighted how they host a conference in Mexico for their entire Latin American community.? Claire Rosenfeld mentioned that Alchemist Accelerator alumni will show up to hikes and talks without any special incentive – they just have a ton of loyalty and love for the program. Neal Sales-Griffin shared from the Techstars side that hosting high-quality retreats in Tahoe never fails to bring founders back. ?? Content varies by audience but it’s often more important to provide strong mentorship / connection than the answers. Whether it’s financial modeling or sales training, sometimes the most effective learning comes from founders who are just one stage ahead of you (an insight we came to when I was at All Raise as well). ?? Collecting data from alumni involves picking up the phone and calling them. ?? CRM's and platforms are critical to keep everyone engaged (and track data), but a solution didn't emerge as winner. I swear I didn’t plant this theme, but accelerators are either swimming in spreadsheets and Airtables and/or investing a ton of money (even up to 60 engineers internally) to build a homegrown platform. One panelist mentioned that systematizing accelerator ops in a tool can cut down the time to launch ("I can launch an accelerator in a day by replicating the system I built!") -- so it's pretty important to get this right. This is why I'm building Campground -- to integrate the CRM part with the participant-facing engagement without needing to invest hundreds of thousands of $$. I just love hosting learning conversations like this to support the growth and professional development of program leaders. You can join our community too, link in the chat! And great to meet y'all - Kathleen Quinn Steeves, Sylvia Flores, Sohela Shah, Ph.D., Madeleine Vecchione, Kate Drane, Marion Araque, M.Ed, Grace Anne Belangia, Marcus Thompson, Caroline W., Troy Daley

CEO of Campground: Program Data in One Place [ex-Bain, founder of FutureMap, interim CEO All Raise]
I’m excited to share more about Campground Systems, the company I’ve been building in stealth mode for the past year. It’s the product I wish I had as a program leader. It's just perfect timing to announce Campground in the context of a program that recently launched out of pilot mode: The newly announced Corps to Career Initiative run by the California Volunteers Fund, an innovative way to help California Service Corps Alumni launch fulfilling careers while meeting the state’s workforce needs. The Corps to Career Initiative is powered by Campground, and here's how. Much like other workforce programs, they produce workshops, career fairs, and manage employer partners. Corps to Career needed: ?? A login-protected hub for Fellows to access resources and events ?? A directory for Fellows and Employers to browse, filter, and connect ?? A way for students to update their own data ?? A true CRM, not Google Sheets, to track engagement and metrics ?? Multiple partners and campuses to manage on the back-end, in one place Campground is the first purpose-built CRM and hub designed for program leaders to do ALL those things in one place quickly. More than 82% of the 640+ stakeholders on the platform are actively engaged. As Tina Kim, deputy director, shared, the alternative would likely have been building a homegrown platform that did all of the above. “Campground created a centralized version of our systems to start with.” It allowed their small team to focus on program delivery, not customizing a complex product…saving hundreds of thousands of dollars in staff and consulting time. (This was a huge motivation for me to start Campground, after seeing so many dollars and hours spent on Salesforce/HubSpot/Airtable implementations that just didn't scale!) As we head into year 2 of the initiative, the team has huge ambitions to serve the 10K+ Californians who enter the Service Corps every year. Campground is excited to empower that ambition from behind the scenes. Can’t wait to share more. Thanks David Silver, Jordan Mickens, Chantell Padilla, and Zena Amran, M.Ed for being great Campground users!
