Fund what matters. Together.
Join the Grant Committee and help deploy capital to the founders building the future. No gatekeepers. Real impact.
Join the CommitteeThe Sengo × Venture Partners Grant Program is opening the doors to grant making. We're bringing together a community of donors who want a seat at the table—evaluating founders, recommending where capital goes, and measuring the real-world impact of every dollar.
How It Works
Three steps to becoming a grant maker and deploying capital that creates lasting impact.
Join the Committee
Apply to become a grant committee member. We welcome donors who share our mission to support innovation.
Evaluate & Vote
Review founder applications as a group. Hear pitches, ask questions, and collectively recommend which ventures receive grant funding.
Deploy & Track
Watch your capital go to work. We track and report on six key impact metrics so you see the real outcomes of your funding recommendations.
Impact We Seek
We follow the journey of every grant winner across six categories that reflect real-world progress.
New positions and economic opportunity generated by funded ventures.
Top-line growth and commercial traction achieved post-funding.
Additional capital raised after the initial grant, multiplying your impact.
New customers and users gained, validating product-market fit.
Founder self-efficacy and momentum cultivated through the grant experience.
Media exposure and visibility earned by funded founders and their ventures.
