What is SariKo

The world's first diaspora commerce network

280 million diaspora members are trapped in Facebook groups buying and selling with no structure, no trust layer, and no commerce infrastructure. SariKo changes that.

  • 🌏
    Node-Based Global Network
    SariKo starts in Ho Chi Minh City as Node 1, with a model designed to replicate city by city — governed by local Node Governors endorsed by consulates and chambers of commerce.
  • 🤝
    Built for Filipino Sellers
    Our first cohort connects Filipino entrepreneurs in HCMC with the diaspora market — a community with deep purchasing power and zero structured marketplace today.
  • 💸
    Three Revenue Streams
    Commission on transactions, seller subscriptions, and Node Governor licensing fees — creating compounding, scalable revenue from day one.
  • 🚀
    VC Round In Motion
    We're raising $750K on a SAFE from institutional investors. The Founder's Circle gets in first — at a 20% discount to whatever price the VCs pay.
"Turning 280 million diaspora members trapped in chat groups into a structured global commerce network — with $0 direct competitors anywhere globally."

Common Questions

You probably have questions

Here are the most common ones — answered honestly.

Is this a loan or an investment? +
This is an investment — not a loan. You are acquiring the right to receive equity (shares) in SariKo. You are not lending money that needs to be repaid. Your money converts into ownership of the company when the VC round closes.
What does "converts at 20% discount" mean? +
When the VC round closes, investors in that round will pay a set price per share. Because you invested earlier and took more risk, you receive those same shares at 20% cheaper. Example: if VCs pay $1.00 per share, you pay $0.80 — meaning you get more shares for the same money.
What if the VC round doesn't happen? +
If no VC funding round of $250,000 or more closes within 36 months, Poppet commits to negotiating a conversion to equity at a mutually agreed valuation. This is documented in the investment agreement.
Can I lose my investment? +
Yes. This is an early-stage startup investment and there is a real risk of total loss. Please only invest money you are genuinely comfortable never seeing again. Poppet will always be honest about how the business is performing through Insider updates.
How do I actually send the money? +
After you sign the agreement, you may send funds directly via US bank wire to BridgeTech Labs, Inc. Details below:

Account Holder: BridgeTech Labs, Inc.
Bank: Lead Bank · 1801 Main St., Kansas City, MO 64108
Account Number: 212736972098
ACH / Wire Routing: 101019644
Account Type: Checking · US ACH

You will receive a payment confirmation receipt upon cleared funds. For other transfer methods, message Poppet directly.
When will I know what my equity is worth? +
Your equity percentage will be determined at the time of the VC round conversion, based on the round valuation. The 20% discount means you will always receive more equity per dollar than the institutional investors in that same round.
Why are you raising from friends and family first? +
Building an MVP requires capital before VCs will write a check. Rather than taking on debt, Poppet is giving the people closest to him the first opportunity to invest at the best possible terms — before institutional money sets the price.
Is this legally documented? +
Yes. Every investor signs a formal Early Investment Agreement governed by Philippine law. The agreement covers investment amount, conversion terms, the 36-month longstop date, risk acknowledgment, and signatures from both parties. You can read the full agreement in the Documents section above.
