In their words

Hear it from GivePanel.

The engagement, told by the people who lived the turnaround.

The challenge

GivePanel was in a product-market-pricing fit crisis. ARR was declining 35% year on year. Pricing was flat and undifferentiated, anchored to platform access rather than the fundraising outcomes the product delivered. Churn was driven by misaligned expectations at the point of sale rather than by product quality.

The approach

Each step below is a step of PROFIT+, named so you can see which part of the method did the work.

  1. Diagnose

    Ran a full monetisation diagnostic using the PROFIT+ framework.

  2. Research

    Identified that pricing was anchored to access rather than to funds raised through the platform.

  3. Optimise

    Redesigned packaging around need complexity, from basic peer-to-peer fundraising to high-complexity campaign management.

  4. Position

    Introduced outcome-informed tiers and repositioned the commercial narrative around fundraising ROI.

The outcome

  • ARR turnaround from −35% to +106% over twelve months.
  • Churn reduced through right-fit customer acquisition.
  • Average deal size increased as enterprise fundraising teams moved to higher tiers.
  • Investor confidence restored ahead of Series A discussions.

In their words

“BGS stripped our pricing back to the fundamentals of customer value — the result is a tiered model that's easier to explain, easier to scale, and captures far more revenue per account.”
