Sengo is a bold, new model for funding & connection
Hey, I'm Ila
At 13, I was searching for homes online to help support my family. Real estate became my way forward, and by 24, I had closed over $100M in transactions. But along the way, I realized success often meant winning alone in systems that weren’t built for collective uplift.
That’s why I created Sengo: to reimagine fundraising and investing in a way that’s accessible, ethical, and community-driven.
I’m not only a founder—I’m also an accredited investor, and community builder. I’ve been featured in Forbes, Nasdaq, Business Insider, and Equities for my work helping underrepresented founders access capital and funders find transparent, values-driven opportunities.
Through Sengo, I’m building the infrastructure for a future where capital flows like community—and I’m so glad you’re here to be part of it.
Sign UpFrequently Asked Questions
What exactly do I get with a Sengo Membership?
Depending on your tier, you’ll get access to events, fundraising support, exclusive resources, curated deal flow, and 1:1 sessions. All members gain access to our community platform where they can network and view shared resources.
How does Sengo help me raise money for my business?Â
Sengo provides guided, community-based support to help you prepare for and navigate your fundraising journey. We offer quarterly 1:1 strategy calls, access to grant opportunities, and for founders actively raising, we offer optional high-touch support like deal publishing, pitch refinement, and investor introductions. You'll also benefit from curated events, platform partnerships, and a growing network of mission-aligned funders.
Do I need to be an accredited investor to support campaigns on Sengo?Â
Not exclusively. One of our core values is democratizing access to private markets. Through crowdfunding and compliant offerings, non-accredited investors can support founders they believe in, and grow alongside the businesses they back.
How do I know Sengo is legitimate and safe to use?
Sengo partners with established legal and financial firms and uses compliant tools for all fundraising activity. We are not a broker-dealer.
What makes Sengo different from platforms like StartEngine or Wefunder?
Sengo is community-first and culture-driven. We don’t just host your raise—we support you with storytelling, community activation, grant access, and curated introductions. Our memberships also offer long-term ecosystem support, not just a single campaign launch.
Can I cancel my membership at any time?
Yes, all monthly memberships are flexible. You can cancel anytime, and we’ll make sure you retain access to anything you’ve already paid for. Â
Who is Sengo really for?Â
Sengo is for underrepresented founders looking to fundraise on their own terms, funders who want to support with intention (even if they’re just getting started), and anyone who believes in the power of community-backed businesses.
