Two days’ due diligence in 30 minutes
Xapien is the single source of truth for donor due diligence
Reputations take centuries to build, but just one headline to destroy. How are you protecting yours?
Now, more than ever, universities need to know who they're accepting gifts from.
Under the gaze of the media and activist stakeholders, knowing donors from the start is vital. But to really know a donor means to know their associations, interests, and reputation. Screening data alone can’t provide this insight.
Insights come from deep research, not surface-level searches
Knowing a donor is more than just their sanctions exposure. You need to know if they have ties to industries and associates that don’t align with your and your stakeholder’s values and ESG priorities. But that means filtering through thousands of search engine results. And with fundraising goals to meet, time is a luxury neither you nor your fundraisers can afford.

Customer success story
“Xapien considers all the things that would be important to us… which is not always the case with more generalised due diligence software.”
The University of Liverpool's due diligence process was slow and time-consuming, which involved consulting various sources and databases like Companies House. Google searches often resulted in repetitive content with minor variations, leaving the operations team to sift through multiple sources to identify anything new.
They also found it frustrating to search beyond the initial pages of results, as searches sometimes produced different outcomes, raising concerns about search engine biases.
Xapien surfaces everything they need to know about a donor in a matter of minutes. By automating the information gathering process, the team can swiftly advance more prospects through the fundraising pipeline. Since Xapien only displays results it's confident are relevant to the subject, there's no need for the team to go through every article. This streamlined approach enables the team to make quicker and well-informed decisions.
