Get started in 8 Steps
Step 1
Set up your Lift Women profile
Lift Women is Australia’s first female-focussed crowdfunding platform — we’re deeply passionate about facilitating fundraising for women. Your visibility starts here so set up your profile, upload a profile picture and write a bio to introduce yourself.Step 2
Plan your crowdfunding pitch
It starts with your story — how you are providing a real solution to a real problem and how you will take it to the next level with crowdfunding? Write in a personal and inspiring way that connects with readers. And don’t forget visuals speak volumes!Step 3
Set your funding goal
How much money do you need in order to complete your objectives? Lift Women is an all-or-nothing crowdfunding platform so you will only receive your funds if your project is 100% funded! Share openly what you will use the funds for.Step 4
Create your rewards structure
Rewards-based crowdfunding means that backers receive a non-financial reward. What can you uniquely offer that would genuinely excite people? For example, Cyana, a florist, was fundraising to hold workshops for people with disabilities and her rewards included silk floral arrangements and even wedding packages.Step 5
Don’t forget to carefully craft your rewards copy
How you communicate your rewards matters too so don’t let this be an afterthought. Highlight the benefits and exclusivity with the intention to captivate and convert. If backers will be receiving a sneak peek or huge discount, make this clear!Step 6
Build your crowd
Maximise the chances of success by maximising exposure within the first 48 hours. Reach out to your inner circle, social media and media outlets. Remember — people want to support fundraising for women-led businesses, so be bold driven by your vision.Step 7
Submit your project
Now you've got everything ready, do a final review — we recommend doing it with a trusted team member or loved one — and submit your project for approval. Launch your crowdfunding campaign on Lift Women and do a happy dance!Step 8
Get sharing!
It’s time to start promoting and attracting pledges. Keep momentum going by providing regular updates on your page as well as your other communication channels. Good luck!What makes us different
Social Impact
50% of our profit gives right back to our community and causes that support gender equality. We’re the world’s first reward-based crowdfunding platform operated in a social impactful model.
Women-Focused
We’re the platform dedicated for women to shine and thrive. Globally, only 2.3% of VC funding went to women-led startups. Only 28% of total crowdfunding projects worldwide are female-led. There is a gap and the gap isn’t healthy and we exist to shake things up.
All-In-One Platform
Looking for funding? Market validation? Publicity and visibility? Like-minded women founders and entrepreneurs? Supportive community? We’re all right here waiting for you on this very platform with zero upfront cost. We’re costumed, secured and transparent. We’re here for you.
The Sisterhood
We’re a network of women who are ready to rally for you and your dreams, a safe platform to connect, inspire and empower each other. The right backers, investors and partners are out there looking to uplift a project like yours. Because we already believe in your project, it will be easy to find other who do too.
It's your time.
