GalaStream is a virtual fundraising event agency built with only one purpose, to help organizations produce "live" virtual fundraising events that capitalize on the medium's potential. Our team and proprietary platform help nonprofits deliver dynamic, engaging, and financially successful fundraisers while opening the doors to untapped donors and fundraising opportunities that are not bound by room size or geographical limitations.GalaStream's proprietary web platform is designed to support our events and help tap the excitement that can be built in the lead up to a live event, then capitalize on that excitement at the event by creating a stage that can build a donation frenzy that inspires more audience members to donate (often multiple times), allowing for the live host(s) to whip up and echo that excitement back to the audience, so that in the end everyone walks away buzzing. Our team is led by CEO, Manny Kivowitz who has three decades of experience in video production and is an expert at helping organizations discover and tell compelling stories. Our CTO, Dyske Suematsu has been developing succesful web applications since the late 90s. Manny and Dyske have been working together for over two decades on everything from branding projects, web development, television shows, commercials and event production. Sharan has worked with Manny for over 10 years. After working together at a startup, Sharan joined Manny at his production company, where he excelled as a producer working on countless corporate and promotional video projects while also pursing his passion to document local music scenes. Being a Millennial and tech-savvy, Sharan is keenly aware of what his generation wants. He too has been working with Manny and Dyske for over a decade.
