A Few Of Our Clients
About Bid Beacon
Bid Beacon was created when a local charity came to us unsatisfied with their traditional silent auction participation at events. They were looking for a modern silent auction app.
The team at Launch57 created Bid Beacon and has since helped thousands of fundraisers raise over ten million dollars through our easy to use, self managed program.
Bid Beacon is owned and managed by the team at Launch57, a mobile software development company located in Canada. We are very hands on with the solutions we create and can’t wait to help you raise more at your next fundraiser.
