History
Resilia was founded in 2016 by serial entrepreneur Sevetri Wilson as a software solution to help nonprofits grow, increase capacity, and maximize their impact.

Wilson was named in Inc. Magazine’s “100 Female Founders building world-changing companies” and in PitchBook’s 27 leading Black founders and investor list in 2019. In 2020, Wilson became one of the only 50 Black women in the U.S. to have raised over $15M in venture funding and was named a Rising Star on the Forbes Cloud 100 List.

In October 2022, Resila raised a $35M Series B round in venture capital, becoming the largest raise for a solo Black-female founded technology company.
