Shortly after raising Series A, FitzGerald found out that he was ill with a terminal cancer, but despite the challenges, and thanks to a network for friends, investors and doctors, he was able to overcome the diseases and return back to work. In order to help fellow cancer patients, Michael started a side project, a HAI Pump Finder, a website that has a chance of helping tens of thousands of patients every year. In July 2019, Submittable announced a Series B round of funding, which Michael is planning to use in order to grow the company, and to hire more people. It has taken a long time to get right, but Submittable is growing, scaling, and winning customers.

Once a copywriter, Michael FitzGerald is now a successful CEO of a fast-growing tech company.
