FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

January 23, 2026

SENT Angels (previously known as Catholic Angels), a Catholic angel investor syndicate, is excited to announce its investment in Wealth Architect, a new startup focused on transforming how Americans manage their finances. 

Founded by Matt Bush and Colin Devine, Wealth Architect is building a fully automated financial planner for everyone. Their vision is to provide expert financial guidance to all Americans, especially those who have been underserved by professional financial advisors. 

SENT Angels is excited to complete this investment, driven by a deep alignment with the Wealth Architect team. Their unique combination of technical expertise, proven operational abilities, and shared faith values makes this a company that SENT Angels is proud to support.

In the words of John Cannon, co-founder of SENT Angels, “Wealth Architect is led by high character founders who allow their faith to transform their leadership. Moreover, the company is really seeking to democratize access to wealth management services that were once only available to the wealthy and by supporting the underserved and middle class. We believe this investment aligns well with the Catholic thesis of SENT Angels.”

Matt Bush, co-founder of Wealth Architect, shared the following: “We’re grateful for the partnership and support from SENT Angels. Wealth Architect’s mission is to transform financial anxiety into clarity by giving everyone a trustworthy and intelligent financial advocate that works tirelessly for their success.”

Wealth Architect seeks to ease the burden of financial complexity, uneven cash flow, budgeting, tax optimizing, and more, all without over-constraining day-to-day life. Their AI-powered tech assists with multi-variable life scenarios, like evaluating the combined impact of a job change, home purchase, or a relocation on both near-term runway and long-term retirement timelines.

Matt commented that “as a team led by Catholics, we’re motivated by a commitment to human dignity and human flourishing, and we hope the peace of mind Wealth Architect provides helps people better care for their families, their communities, and the lives they’re called to build. We’re honored to have mission-aligned partners alongside us as we pursue this work.”

With Wealth Architect’s rapid progress, the funds from SENT Angels will be used to launch and scale the product, GTM, and grow the team.

This investment reflects SENT Angels’ growing portfolio of early‑stage companies that are shaping culture through innovation and integrity. From healthcare to education to cutting-edge technologies, SENT Angels back founders who are building boldly, creatively, and faithfully.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary

SENT Angels (previously known as Catholic Angels), a Catholic angel investor syndicate, announces its investment in Longbeard, a generative AI startup that is pioneering technology and building faith-aligned, AI-powered infrastructure and applications for the global Catholic Church.

Founded by Matthew Harvey Sanders, Longbeard is building an alternative to mainstream AI platforms, designed to serve creators, educators, scholars, and mission‑driven organizations with tools that are powerful and grounded in truth. The platform’s foundation rests on timeless values, providing a reliable option for institutions that seek technological innovation without compromising ethical clarity. We believe that Longbeard is currently established to be the category-definer for Faith-Aligned Catholic Al solutions. The flagship product Magisterium AI is already the world’s #1 Catholic answer engine.

“We are grateful to have the opportunity to back Matthew and the Longbeard team,” said Juan Acosta, co-founder of SENT Angels, “Over the past year, several of our members have watched them move fast, build with excellence, and form strategic partnerships. From Magisterium AI, Vulgate, the Alexandria Digitization Hub, and Ephrem, to Christendom, their work speaks for itself.” Juan continues that “As AI begins to shape many aspects of our lives, it is crucial that the fullness of truth found in our Catholic faith helps guide the development of this fast-paced industry. We believe Longbeard is the team to make that happen.”

According to Longbeard CEO Matthew Harvey Sanders, “SENT Angels is more than just an investor; they are a true partner in our mission. Their support extends beyond the financial, providing strategic guidance and spiritual encouragement as we work to build the future of Catholic AI.”

Existing LLMs hallucinate or deviate from orthodox doctrine; Catholic institutions therefore need trusted, magisterially aligned AI tools. Longbeard seeks to become the go‑to generative AI platform for Catholic organizations, around the globe, providing the tools to write, create, and ideate while maintaining alignment with Church teachings.

“Thanks to the partnership with SENT Angels, we are empowering Catholics to engage with AI in a way that is consistent with their faith,” said Matthew, “Together, we are building a future where the beauty and truth of the Catholic faith can be shared and explored through the power of faithfully aligned AI.”

With Longbeard’s rapid user and business growth, the funds from SENT Angels will be used to enhance user experience, drive tooling and digitization efforts, and accelerate their global expansion.

This investment reflects SENT Angels’ growing portfolio of early‑stage companies that are shaping culture through innovation and integrity. From healthcare to education to cutting-edge technologies, SENT Angels back founders who are building boldly, creatively, and faithfully.
