Investment thesis
LiftWomen operates as a reward-based crowdfunding platform built by women for women to address the gender funding gap, noting that only 2.3% of VC funding globally goes to women-led startups. Backers pledge to projects in exchange for perks or products rather than equity, allowing founders to raise non-dilutive capital to start or scale businesses. The firm pairs funding access with education and community, offering a free Crowdfunding Playbook, complimentary consultations, and an AI pitch assistant. It emphasizes social impact, pledging to return 50% of profit to its community and gender-equality causes, and positions itself as a supportive 'sisterhood' network.
