A founder serves a customer in her small shop; a golden ribbon of light connects it to a bigger shop with more staff, which starts as a sketch and comes to life.

Nothing counts
until it’s confirmed.

Here’s exactly what happens between “I’m in” and a campaign’s total going up.

  1. You choose an amount

    Your limit depends on how much of your account you’ve verified.

  2. You pay with Mobile Money

    Enter your mobile number and approve the payment prompt on your phone.

  3. The provider confirms it

    We check the amount and currency against your contribution.

  4. Then it counts

    You get a receipt and the founder is notified.

Backing a campaign is not an investment and pays no financial return. Sowithme doesn’t guarantee that a campaign reaches its target, that a business succeeds or that rewards are delivered. Read the risk disclosure

Fundraising that grows
with the business.

A business only gets the options its stage can support. As founders show progress, more open up.
