Hey, I'm
Ila B.
Educator, founder, and investor at the intersection of capital, culture, and community.
At 13, I started searching for homes online to help my family find housing. That obsession turned into a career โ over $100M in real estate transactions, an angel portfolio, a Series 65, and a California real estate license. In 2023 I founded Sengo to make sure the private markets that built my wealth aren't closed off to everyone else. I'm also an accredited investor.
