Fundmetric, the Halifax startup that provides SaaS fundraising solutions for charities and non-profits, has released the following press release:
SCoReS Founder Joins Fundmetric to Build and Implement Charitable Predictive Analytics
HALIFAX, NS- Today, Fundmetric is excited to announce the addition of Sports Commentary Recommendation System (SCoReS) founder and creator, Dr. Gregory Lee, as the newest member of the Fundmetric team as Lead Data Scientist.
SCoReS is an innovative system, developed in Alberta that uses Artificial Intelligence to automatically match sports situations to relevant stories and anecdotes for announcers and colour commentators. Dr. Lee will be applying machine learning and predictive analytics in order to further enhance and develop Fundmetric’s donor score system built to better predict whom charitable organizations should contact for donations next.
SCoReS had previously been featured on National Public Radio, CBC, The Verge, and Engadget.
“We are incredibly excited to have Dr. Lee bring his research and skill set to Nova Scotia as we continue to expand Fundmetric’s offering and develop our Donor Score Algorithm,” says Fundmetric co-founder Christopher Kolmatycki, “Dr. Lee’s successes and findings with SCoRes will be invaluable as we continue to develop new and innovative ways for charities and non-profits to increase their success in donor interactions.”
Dr. Lee will now be focusing full time on improving Fundmetric’s ability to tell charitable fundraisers which donors to contact next, as well as developing an automated and predictive system to help charities better communicate with their donors using SCoReS’ scenario-based predictive modelling technology.
“I’m looking forward to focus and apply my previous research and findings to an organization committed to helping charities and non-profits make the world a better place. It is clear that different situations and scenarios require different forms of communication from charities and their stakeholders,” says Dr. Lee, ”I’m further excited to be able to do it in Atlantic Canada where I was raised and educated. What Fundmetric is currently doing is exceptional in the field of machine learning and predictive analytics and I hope to take what they are doing to the next level.”
