Notes for Development:

1. Technology is yet to be introduced as an optimiser in fundraising function and the team operates with basic tools.
   
   
2. Identify high needs asap and plan for tech system development.
   
   
3. Technology system development is highly necessary. However, if you do not have a fundraising portfolio at all (meaning you do not have more than 1 or 2 funders), it might make sense for you to go slow on tech development and develop a fair portfolio first.
