Thank you! It's been a combination of 2 things: 1) building tools that make it easier for our hospital partners to scale with us more efficiently, thereby increasing their capacity to send us more patients, and 2) product/marketing.

If you're interested in the growth side of Watsi, we opened up a bunch of our data to Segment earlier this year, and they put out this post about the growth learnings they gathered: https://segment.com/blog/what-we-learned-from-watsis-data/

We also talked with First Round a few months ago about how we use email marketing to grow donations: http://firstround.com/review/what-startups-can-learn-from-wa...

Hopefully we'll be able to share more learnings in the next couple of months!

Awesome, have you guys considered open sourcing your software? Maybe you could get donations in terms of OSS contributions to help build your technical infrastructure.
Yes, we have plans to open source our software in the future. Stay tuned!
