soonami is Scaling Its EIR Program  with 54,000 SNI in Rewards and $125K in Potential Funding for Founders

Then this is your moment. soonami is leveling up its Entrepreneur-in-Residence (EIR) program, and we’re backing it with 54,000 SNI tokens in rewards and the potential for $125,000 in seed funding for the most promising projects.

What’s New?

To accelerate more early-stage founders and product builders, we’re offering:

  • 54,000 SNI tokens to be shared across 6 selected teams
  • That’s 9,000 SNI tokens per team plus 6,000 SNI as locked rewards for each team. 
  • And the opportunity to pitch for $125,000 in funding from soonami’s investment committee

The Journey Begins at Venturethon

Your journey starts with the soonami Venturethon, kicking off on 15 September 2025. It’s a 10-day sprint where we vet the most passionate and capable founders through a hands-on MVP challenge. From there, 6 teams are selected to join the EIR Cohort 8.

Success Stories

Teams that have emerged from the soonami ecosystem have gone on to raise from leading investors. Notable examples:

  • AuditOne: Raised €800K post-soonami. “soonami had the expertise, network and resources we were looking for to really scale our idea. We were able to merge what we were doing then (CoinRisk) with what soonami was building and bring AuditOne to the level it is at today.” - Adrien Resch, CEO & Co-fonder, AuditOne
  • Foundance, Rethink Finance, and unbounded.dao : all got their first break through our ecosystem.
  • Rethink.Finance: “soonami was the first partner to believe in us. They provided the funding that helped launch rethink.finance and became our very first user. Beyond that, they offered regular thoughtful feedback, consistently challenged our strategy and still trusted us to steer the ship - the perfect mix of support and autonomy.” - Rok Behin, Co-founder, rethink.finance
  • DearFlow: “soonami wasn’t just our first investor - Chris had been a friend and mentor long before that. When the time came to build DearFlow, partnering with soonami felt natural. They believed in us early, gace us the room to move fast, and supported us with most thoughtful input when it mattered most. That mix of trust, challenge, and backing helped us take the leap from idea to product.” - Benjamin Drury, Co-founder & CTO, DearFlow
