By signing up now, you lock in lifetime Founding Member benefits — including a 20% profit share (on up to $50 million) and early access to the platform before the public launch. This is a limited opportunity for those who believe in a fair economy where financial freedom is possible for everyone.

No, you do not have to be a U.S. citizen to become a Founding Member. Kirabo welcomes members from around the world who believe in building a more equitable economy. However, please note that if you are located outside the U.S., payment distribution and any applicable tax obligations may vary based on your country’s regulations.

Both Founding Members and monthly subscribers will get early access to the platform at the same time. However, Founding Members enjoy exclusive benefits, including profit share (20% of profits between $1 million and $50 million) — something monthly subscribers don’t receive. Additionally, Founding Members get access to the platform for a full year at a discounted rate, whereas monthly subscribers will pay the standard subscription fee after the first year.

A Public Benefit Corporation (PBC) is a type of company that’s legally committed to creating a positive impact on society, not just making a profit. Unlike traditional corporations that focus only on maximizing shareholder value, a PBC balances financial success with a broader mission to serve the public good. At Kirabo, this means we’re not just building a business — we’re building a platform that prioritizes financial equity, community empowerment, and lasting impact.

As a Founding Member, you’ll be eligible to share in 20% of all profits earned after the first $1 million, up to $50 million in total profits. The total 20% will be divided equally among all Founding Members, and your portion will be paid to you directly in cash. This is our way of thanking you for believing in us from the beginning and making sure you share in the success you helped build.

Kirabo is built on the principles of cooperative economics -- the belief that communities thrive when wealth and resources are shared, not hoarded. Our profit-sharing brings these values to life, rewarding those who help build this movement and ensuring that Kirabo’s growth directly benefits the community that supports it.

Profit-share payments allow you to receive direct cash payouts based on Kirabo’s real profits — without the delays, risks, or complexities that often come with owning equity. You won’t have to worry about selling shares, market fluctuations, or complicated tax filings tied to ownership. We chose profit sharing because we want our stakeholders to benefit as soon as possible. Unlike equity crowdfunding or traditional investment models, our goal is to invest in you — because we measure success not just by our profits, but by how much capital we can redistribute back into our community.

This is a non-dilutive grant, so you don’t have to give up any equity in your business. The funds should go toward business expenses—things like operations, marketing, research, product development, staffing, equipment, etc.

Yes, you can apply for more than one business, but each must be a distinct entity offering different products or services. All businesses must meet the eligibility criteria, and each requires a separate, complete application.

No, attending a business coaching session is not mandatory, but it’s encouraged. Business coaching is not a requirement to receive any grant funds. The 1-hour session must be completed within 6 months of selection.

Eligible businesses must be from historically under-resourced communities—such as Black, Hispanic, Indigenous, rural, and immigrant communities—while anyone facing systemic barriers to economic opportunities, regardless of race, is welcome to apply. For-profit, non-profit, and unregistered entities based in the United States are eligible to apply. Proof of citizenship is not required, but the business must be based in and primarily operate within the United States. Additionally, the business must have made less than $750,000 in gross profit or received less than $750,000 in total funding from venture capital, investors, or grants.

No, you do not have to be a registered business to apply. We welcome applications from various types of businesses, including sole proprietorships, partnerships, and non-registered entities, as long as they meet the eligibility criteria and demonstrate a clear mission to drive impact in their community.

Applying means you’re committed to building a future where financial and economic equity are the norm, not the exception. We’ve yet to experience an America without extreme inequality — but that changes with bold visionaries like you. Your dedication to creating solutions uplifts not just you, but your entire community. Together, we can drive lasting change—at scale, for generations to come.
