- 30% of your commitment is collected as a tax deductible contribution to our grant fund via our non-profit partner

- Direct impact on which founders receive grant funding
Annual commitment: $5k+
Funder Member FAQs
No. Funder Membership does not require any capital commitment. Joining Sengo as a funder gives you access to education, community, deal visibility, and events — you decide if, when, and how you invest.
Never. You can join purely to learn, observe, and build relationships. Investing is always optional and at your own discretion.

- Early-stage startups
- Community-backed companies

- Grant-supported and revenue-generating businesses
Opportunities vary by stage and structure (e.g. SAFE, equity, debt, Reg CF), and not all opportunities are open to all investors.
