I'm a founder who was very nervous about funding as I've failed recently. Love the comprehensiveness of this workshop and the ways it can help me get up fast.

Ila B Corcoran
Founder & CEO, Sengo
The Founder

Built from
lived experience.

"Wealth, opportunity, and ownership should be shared โ€” not hoarded."

At 13, Ila Corcoran began searching for homes online to support her family. Real estate and alternative assets became her path forward, leading to over $100M in transactions by age 24.

But success often meant winning alone โ€” within systems built for individual gain and designed to extract rather than sustain generational wealth. Sengo was created to change that.

Today, Ila is a 2x Forbes-featured founder, angel investor, and the architect of a platform that has helped founders raise over $5M in follow-on capital.
