Frequently asked questions
What is Lifto?
Lifto is a fundraising platform on Robinhood Chain. Founders building a startup, app, AI agent or meme apply with a 90-second video, demo it live and raise from an online community of backers.
Who is Lifto for?
Founders building a startup, app, agent or meme. A working demo is essential.
How does Lifto work?
Three steps. Apply with a 90-second founder video. Demo your product live and introduce the team. Raise by opening your round, then post a 60-second update every week.
What do I need to apply?
Take the Lifto AI Project Assessment in the Lifto app: six short steps, about 8 minutes. You share your project's X account and best posts, your website, a concept paper and a Telegram handle so we can reach you. Lifto AI then gives you a readiness score out of 100 and the areas to fix before you raise. If it's a fit, our team messages you on Telegram.
Why a video instead of a pitch deck?
Because a founder using their own product shows what backers actually want to know: that the product exists, that it works and that the person behind it understands it. A deck can't show that.
What kinds of projects can raise on Lifto?
Startups, consumer apps, AI agents and memes with a real community. That covers categories like AI, DePIN, RWA, DeFi, gaming, robotics and privacy, as long as there is a working product.
What happens after the raise?
Keep building in public. Share a 60-second update each week so backers can see your progress.
How can I tell a project is real?
Every Lifto project has a founder on camera, a live product demo, verified links and a record of weekly updates. Check that the contract address matches the project page before doing anything.
