A roster of financial backers for Omarchy lists concentrated support from wealthy tech founders and major tech firms. Founding patrons are shown as contributing $1,000,000 each and include Tobi Lütke, Patrick Collison, Michael Dell, Jack Dorsey, Matthew Prince, Brendan Iribe, Jason Fried, Drew Houston, Peter Steinberger, Brian Armstrong, Yunjie Dai and DHH, under the motto "Elite capital. Public code." Founding corporate patrons are pledged at $1,000,000 per year for three years (or $1.5M in tokens) and include Meta Superintelligence Labs, DigitalOcean, Alibaba Cloud and SpaceXAI. Distinguished individual and corporate patrons at $100,000 levels feature a shorter list of names and companies, notably with OpenAI among the distinguished corporate patrons.

Beyond the top tiers, a public, tiered patron program accepts gifts at many levels and publishes long lists of contributors by bracket (examples: 25K, 8K, 2K, $256 and $16 tiers), naming hundreds of individual supporters from hobbyists to notable engineers such as Werner Vogels. The page emphasizes openness - anyone can become a patron, collect a badge, and contact [email protected] to join - while making clear that the project is substantially funded and visibly endorsed by high-profile oligarchic capital alongside a broad base of smaller donors.
