You're Drowning in 500 "Perfect" Pitches
But Can't Find the Genuinely Committed and Capable Leaders
You're trying to fund organizations and startups that will actually deliver:
You need committed leaders who'll sustain the work long-term, not pivot when trends shift
You want founders who've been working in this space, not just responding to your RFP
You need to verify technical capability, not just mission statements
You're tired of pitch coaching making every CEO sound brilliant regardless of actual ability
You're building an ecosystem of change, not just distributing capital
But when you announce funding or open your pipeline...
500+ proposals flood in within 72 hours
Every narrative claims "perfect alignment," "deep commitment," and "proven expertise"
Expensive pitch coaching has created a "performance layer" that obscures actual capability
You can't tell the brilliant technical founder who can't pitch from the amazing pitcher who can't execute
You default to known networks and pedigree signals, missing emerging leaders who can actually deliver
This isn't sustainable for you or for the authentic leaders you're missing.
Sinceriti
Sinceriti is a personal commitment verification layer that shows you which founders and leaders have been genuinely dedicated to your focus areas and have real domain expertise, not just which ones write the best proposals.

How Sinceriti Works
Three Core Concepts You Need to Understand
Founders & Senior Leaders Get a Fixed Annual Budget
Why individuals, not organizations?
Organizations are legal entities. They can't be sincere about anything. Only people can. Sinceriti tracks the personal commitment of founders, CXOs, and senior leaders. When they stake their points, they're putting their own credibility on the line.
Why this matters to you:
Scarcity encourages thoughtfulness. When leaders have limited personal points, their allocation patterns reveal genuine priorities and real capability focus, not mass-application behavior or opportunistic pivots.
Two Ways Leaders Build Their Profile
Foundation Allocations
Leaders create commitments before funding exists:
Mission & Impact:
Expertise & Track Record:
Opportunity-Specific Allocations
Leaders respond to your specific requirements:
What you see:
Foundation allocations show months of authentic personal commitment. Opportunity allocations show specific alignment with your requirements. Together, they reveal both WHY they care and WHETHER they can deliver.
Every Allocation Is Permanently Timestamped
When a founder or leader allocates points, the blockchain records:
This means:
- ✓ Can't backdate commitments after seeing your RFP
- ✓ Can't claim "longstanding expertise" added yesterday
- ✓ Can't fake years of domain focus with last-minute allocations
- ✓ Pitch coaching can't manufacture verified personal commitment history
You get proof of personal consistency AND capability, not proposal rhetoric.
Four Steps: From Posting to Priority Screening
Integrate Sinceriti into your funding process
Define Your Requirements
Create Commitment Statements for Your Grant/Investment. What specific commitments matter for this opportunity?
- "I commit to your full 3-year grant cycle"
- "I'm willing to collaborate with other portfolio organizations"
- "I'll maintain quarterly transparent reporting"
- "I have relevant domain experience in this field"
- Set point thresholds (optional): e.g., "We prioritize leaders with 30+ points in climate tech"
Integrate with Your Process
Add Sinceriti as an optional field in your application form or portal.
- Link Sinceriti profiles in your application form/portal
- Add this language: "Share your Sinceriti profile (if you have one)"
- Keep your existing workflow; just add verification layer
- No platform switching required
Review Verified Leaders First
Prioritize by three filters to save approximately 75% of initial screening time.
- Timeline depth: 8+ months of relevant commitment history
- Alignment strength: 30+ points in your cause area
- Commitment specificity: Allocated to your exact requirements
- Result: Review 45 verified profiles before 455 unverified ones
Prioritize Leaders Who'll Actually Deliver
Focus on verified personal commitment and capability, not pitch performance.
- "If awarded this grant, I commit to the full term"
- "I have verifiable expertise in this domain"
- "I will participate actively in funder reporting requirements"
- "I commit to sustained work beyond the funding period"
- Result: Fund leaders with verified personal commitment AND capability

Real Funders Transforming Their Grantmaking & Investing
Hear from philanthropists, program officers, and investors who transformed their funding
Priya Sharma
Program Officer
Education Foundation
"We fund both grassroots education NGOs and edtech startups. Sinceriti helps us see past the polish in both cases. Last quarter, we found an adaptive learning founder with 13 months of verified commitment to vernacular education AND a community educator with 18 months staked on girls' education in tribal areas. Both were gems we'd have missed."

Vikram Mehta

Climate Tech VC
"Sinceriti helps us see past pitch polish. One founder had mediocre presentation skills but 14 months of verified satellite imagery commitment plus deep remote sensing expertise allocations. She turned out to be our best portfolio company. We would have passed based on pitch alone."
Found hidden gem
Anjali Patel
CSR Head
Tech Corporation
"Screening time dropped from 35 hours to 9 hours per grant cycle. And we're finding better leaders: a CTO building AI for crop disease detection with 16 months of agricultural ML commitment, an executive director with 2 years staked on community health worker training. Real dedication, not proposal polish."
75% time saved
Rajesh Kumar
Family Office Trustee
Health Initiative
"The proactive discovery feature is remarkable. We found 25 founders and senior leaders with 12+ month maternal health commitment history: some building AI diagnostics, others running last-mile community health programs. All had verified expertise, whether technical or field-based."
Proactive discovery
Neha Agarwal
Investment Associate
Impact Fund
"We use Sinceriti to verify founder-market fit. When a CEO claims 'I've been passionate about financial inclusion for years,' we can actually check their personal commitment history. Last week we found a founder who'd been staking points on embedded finance AND rural supply chains for 11 months before incorporating. That's the signal we look for."
