Senzoo is a fan-funding platform that encourages value creators.

About Senzoo

Senzoo was developed by SmashBooth, Inc., a Silicon Valley startup founded by Sho Tabata and Nobu Funaki. Their vision was to develop a tool to help the value providers of the world - open source developers, musicians, educators, etc., - a platform to facilitate contributions from their fans.

The goal of Senzoo is to recognize the efforts of value providers for wanting to spread education, services and art to the world. We at SmashBooth, Inc. want everyone to help keep these things free.

It's hard not to take free resources for granted.  Many musicians, educators and software developers of our keep-it-free information age believe that their knowledge and contributions should reach as many people as possible.  We want these altruistic types to be recognized and we want them to keep producing.

Senzoo is the unobtrusive way to display an honest request to help a good cause.
