What we don't claim

We do not claim formal paid membership, venture-scale funding of Since AI itself, or placement guarantees. Our value is the ecosystem — partners, events, and execution pathways — not a membership database.

Governance and funding

Since AI ry is funded through partner sponsorships, public innovation program support where applicable, and in-kind contributions from ecosystem partners. We are a registered non-profit. Financial statements are available on request to members.
