The Lifted Ethos
At Lifted, we believe in the transformative power of early-stage innovation fueled by extraordinary founders. Our ethos is built upon a bedrock of Deep Authenticity, Founder-First Focus, and SHORT-term goals: e.g., get you funded.
Our Mission: To be the most trusted and impactful partner for early-stage entrepreneurs because of our hyper focus on fundraising. We believe you can get advice anywhere, but roll-up-your-sleeves, in-the-trenches type help is rare (or is cost-prohibitive).
Our Vision: We aspire to be the Y-Combinator of fundraising. However, like YC in its early life, Lifted will be known for its quality, not necessarily its quantity. Fundraising is our current “wedge,” and we intend to knock it out of the park with this focus.
Our Partnership Philosophy: We rigorously identify and champion early-stage companies (Pre-Seed to Seed) that possess a clear technological edge and are led by exceptional teams. While we are sector-agnostic, we gravitate towards founders who are addressing large, complex problems with tech-first solutions. We pride ourselves on being hands-on partners, leveraging our fundraising expertise to execute a tight process and develop an amazing pitch. We are the first call for our founders, celebrating their triumphs and navigating their challenges together.
