GFS is an operational platform we are building for purpose-driven projects that do not have the technical resources to keep up with their operational and project workloads. It means more time for them, more reaching the people who need it, and transparency for donors.
We are building it with the people who will use it. Organizations and donors first, code second.
Capital gets committed, but release is manual and opaque, proof is scattered across emails and spreadsheets, and trust depends on intermediaries nobody chose.
There are roughly 10 million of these organizations worldwide. 92% operate on $1M a year or less. That 92% is not one flat group: it breaks into three tiers, each with its own scale and its own room to save.
avg $25K a year
avg $200K a year

The $500K to 1M tier is 4% of them and represents close to 30% of the total savings pool below. Source proxy: National Council of Nonprofits / Urban Institute size distribution, applied globally.
Four scenarios, from 1% to 10% reduction in administrative waste, scaled by how many organizations are on the platform.

Governance and transparency are the badge that attracts and commits more donors.
Every milestone, every fund release, every proof of delivery is traceable on the platform. Not "trust us." Verify it yourself.
Money goes in, and it only comes out when the work is done and someone has proven it.
Funders deposit into a vault for a specific project.
The project is mapped as a tree of milestones, each with terms, evidence, and validators.
The rules become an automated release schedule the moment the plan is saved.
Funds release only when delivery is proven and signed. A single release can split across many recipients, anywhere.
I'm Thiago Sequinel, 46, engineer. I've built and sold two companies and spent the last years scaling operations for many companies. What I'm good at is making an operation work: people, process, governance, numbers that hold up.
For a while I thought about joining a board somewhere, a few hours a month. That was the slowdown version. This is the scale-up one, and I have never been so driven.
Most organizations doing this work cannot afford the level of data-driven operation that builds trust among donors. GFS is my attempt to change that, doing what I do best.
Building GFS with the organizations, donors and builders who want to contribute before it ships.
A platform nobody asked for is worth nothing. Before we ship, we want the organizations that will use it and the people who will fund it in the room, telling us what breaks in the real world.
Come and break it. It costs you nothing, and your reality shapes what gets built.
Tell us what you would need to see to trust a release. That becomes the standard.
Engineering, legal, partnerships. We're looking for people who want this to exist.
