About

Albedo is a startup building a high-resolution commercial Earth observation satellite constellation capable of imaging the Earth's surface at resolutions far beyond what current commercial satellites achieve. Founded in 2020 and headquartered in Denver, Colorado by DARPA veterans and aerospace engineers, Albedo is developing satellites operating in very low Earth orbit (VLEO) — altitudes of approximately 300km compared to the typical 400-600km for commercial imaging satellites — which enables dramatically sharper imagery without requiring larger, more expensive optical systems.

Fund Accounting & Nonprofit Financial Management

Fund accounting and nonprofit management software for churches and nonprofits. Fresno CA. Cloud-based fund accounting with donor management and contribution tracking.

About

Aplos is a cloud-based fund accounting and nonprofit management software platform founded in Fresno, California. The company focuses on the intersection of nonprofit financial management and fund accounting — areas that generic small business accounting tools like QuickBooks handle poorly for nonprofit-specific requirements such as fund-based reporting, contribution tracking, and Form 990 preparation. Aplos serves churches, nonprofits, and faith-based organizations with an accessible, modern interface that makes fund accounting approachable for non-accountants.\n\nThe Aplos platform combines fund accounting with donor management, online giving, budgeting, financial reporting, contribution statements, and payroll. Its fund accounting module supports restricted and unrestricted funds, program-based budgeting, and the balance sheet and income statement formats required for nonprofit audit and board reporting. The donor management component tracks giving history, generates contribution statements for tax purposes, and manages recurring giving programs — covering the core development office functions for smaller organizations.\n\nAplos occupies the budget-conscious segment of the nonprofit financial management market, competing with Blackbaud's Financial Edge NXT at the enterprise end and QuickBooks with nonprofit workarounds at the entry level. For churches and small nonprofits with limited accounting staff, Aplos provides purpose-built fund accounting at a price point that enterprise systems cannot match. Its church-specific features — including tithing tracking, pledge management, and small group contribution reporting — have made it particularly popular in the faith-based organization segment.
