Public Profile

Sentigram is a San Francisco-based consumer technology company that operates the largest crypto greeting card platform in the United States, with an estimated 4.3 million tokens issued in the fourteen months ending March 2026. The company was founded in 2022 by Brennan Schoenfeld and Anya Korhonen, both former product managers at Square, and has raised $87 million across three funding rounds led by Andreessen Horowitz, Sequoia Capital, and the Solana Foundation.

The company’s core product is the on-demand minting of personalized digital tokens corresponding to life events. Its flagship product line, marketed internally as “the milestone slate,” consists of five coins: the Birthday Coin, the Engagement Coin, the Wedding Coin, the Newborn Coin, and the Condolence Coin, the last of which was released in April 2026. Each token can be customized with a 280-character message and is delivered to the recipient’s wallet within seconds of purchase. List prices range from $14.99 to $59.99.

Sentigram operates on the Solana blockchain, a choice the company has said reflects “a preference for transaction throughput in moments of emotional density.” It is among the few crypto-native consumer companies to have achieved meaningful penetration outside the cryptocurrency-native demographic, with internal data suggesting that more than 60 percent of Sentigram tokens are sent to recipients who do not previously hold a wallet and must create one in order to receive the gift, a process the company describes as “frictionless onboarding to a category of asset they did not know they wanted.”

The company’s headquarters occupy a converted bank building on Folsom Street in San Francisco, the lobby of which features a wall-mounted display of every token minted in the previous twenty-four hours, scrolling continuously.

Role in the universe: Sentigram is the go-to source for any story involving the tokenization of human experience, the encroachment of the crypto economy into emotional or ceremonial categories, or the broader proposition that life events should be onboarded onto a chain. The company is structurally generative — every milestone it has not yet tokenized represents a future article.

Tone and posture: Sentigram speaks the language of a maturing consumer-tech company that believes its product category is inevitable and is mildly impatient with anyone who has not yet caught up. Press materials are crisp, slightly clinical, and prone to phrases like “user need,” “vertical,” and “moment of meaning.” The company does not joke about its products. It does not appear to recognize that anyone could.

Useful tensions: Sentigram inhabits a peculiar position in the consumer landscape. It is large enough to be covered seriously by business reporters, novel enough to attract regular criticism from clergy and ethicists, and earnest enough to be visibly hurt by both. Its public communications increasingly take the tone of a company that feels misunderstood. Internal slide decks have been described, by former employees who spoke on condition of anonymity, as “deeply sincere in a way that is difficult to be around.”

Recurring threads: The company periodically announces expansions into new “sentiment categories.” Each announcement provokes a small wave of cultural commentary, which Sentigram’s leadership treats as evidence of category fit. The ambient-sentiment slate (congratulations, get well, thinking of you) is the next anticipated product line.
