SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 9, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- CHANGE, a technology company changing the way retailers connect with their customers through social impact engagement, announced their $750K+ Pre-Seed round. The round includes investments from GC&H, Humans Ventures, and prominent angel investors including former/current senior executives from Google, Twitter, GoFundMe, PayPal, Palo Alto Networks, Hewlett Packard, and SunPower.

CHANGE's pre-seed funding follows the platform's beta launch in late June. The company is now focused on scaling its platform for its next wave of retailers in Q1 of 2021. Retail partners can join their waitlist here.
