From wildfire relief to funding food: Inside the business of GoFundMe

GoFundMe has become the go-to destination in this regard. Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Brian Sozzi discusses the Opening Bid Unfiltered podcast with GoFundMe CEO Tim Cadogan. Cadogan spent years as a search and rescue volunteer and a top tech executive before taking on the role of GoFundMe CEO in early 2020. Since assuming the top spot, the online donation platform continues to help raise large sums of money for those in urgent need. Cadogan shares his ultimate vision for the platform, who he leans on for advice during challenging periods, and how the platform performs in 2025.
