HERD is an open science mission building a low-cost infrasound network for early warning. You can reserve a sensor, sponsor us as a company, or back the mission monthly. Each path is deliberately separate — and we tell you exactly what your money does.
Put down a $25 fully-refundable deposit. It locks in a HERD One from Batch #1 and your numbered station — and you can take it back, in one click, any time before shipping.
Fund the R&D and get brand deliverables back — logo placement, naming, a CSR report. Because you receive value, your finance team can usually book it as a marketing / CSR expense.
Support the work directly — one-time or monthly — on the platforms below. 100% goes into R&D and the network. Backers get the open dev journal and a place on the founders wall.
Annual partnership levels. Every sponsor gets a deliverable they can show their board — and put on the books as marketing / CSR. Custom and multi-year packages on request.
A bare gift to a commercial company is usually not deductible and gives the donor no benefit. A sponsorship with deliverables (your brand placed, a CSR report delivered) is normally a legitimate marketing / CSR expense your company can deduct. Larger partners can instead structure co-funded R&D, which in Thailand may qualify for an enhanced deduction under BOI / Revenue Department R&D incentives.
This is general information, not tax advice. Treatment depends on your jurisdiction and entity — confirm with your accountant. HERD is operated by HERD Pte. Ltd. (Singapore); local invoicing can be arranged for Thai sponsors. Download one-pager for your board → · Developer R&D packages →
