What does it take to build the world’s first fully Autonomous Fundraiser—and raise over $1 million with it in just a few months?

In this live discussion, Emily Groccia, VP of Customer Success & Director of Version2.ai and Jon Jaszek, VP of Engineering, sit down to reflect on the journey from idea to impact. Together, they’ll unpack the real challenges, pivotal decisions, and surprising lessons behind the Virtual Engagement Officer (VEO), and explore why this milestone matters so deeply for the future of fundraising.

This conversation goes beyond metrics to explore:

• The vision behind Autonomous Fundraising—and how we brought it to life
  
  
• The internal roadblocks and ethical questions we had to solve along the way
  
  
• What the VEO’s $1M+ in donations, 75,000+ donor engagements, and 0.1% opt-out rate reveal about donor behavior and readiness
  
  
• How use case development accelerated the VEO’s success and the donor profiles behind the collective $1M+
  
  
• Why this isn’t just a tech achievement, but a transformation of how we build meaningful donor relationships at scale
