People in Fundraising, ep. 122: Kaleidoscope Co-Founder and CEO Raul Peralta

With thanks to Bill Cote, who suggested to me at the 2024 Apra prospect development conference that his then-colleague, Kaleidoscope's co-founder and CEO Raul Peralta, would be a great guest! Bill was correct, and I am pleased to share Raul's conversation today - which we recorded in early December '24.

Raul discusses:

* His career in software engineering and development, including at 10K Wizard, a vendor well-known to longtime prospect research and development people for its SEC filings.

* How data extraction has changed in the quarter-century since 10K Wizard - and what else stands out about technological changes in the nonprofit software world.

* What Raul is excited about for future of Kaleidoscope, which turned five years old in 2024.

Thank you Raul for an insightful conversation! I learned a good deal about the impact of nonprofit software development and our audience will also benefit from knowing about this fascinating part of fundraising's evolution.
