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 millions of 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.  

Looking for auction item ideas to help attract more bids? We can help!
