Next Friday (July 18), reward-based crowdfunding platform Local Lift, formerly known as Equity Endeavor, will be opening a brand new site for San Francisco Bay entrepreneurs. The platform itself already features campaigns from Austin, Texas and New Orleans, Louisiana.
Local Lift allows business owners to create fundraising campaigns that engage their customers and local communities. They tell their stories through text and visuals on our platform, and then offer valuable incentives to encourage participation. These incentives come in the form of pre-sales, discounts and deals, along with custom popular experiences.
According to the platform, Local Lift exists for two reasons. First, to give main street business owners an alternative way to raise funds needed to start, improve, or grow their businesses. Secondly, to give the residents of a community an opportunity to have a say in what exists in their backyards.
They noted, “Our team has a strong belief that main street businesses are the backbone of our communities, and contribute in numerous ways, including jobs, economic impact, and improving quality of life for residents.”
Although Local Lift has announced it will launch five new campaigns from the Bay area, they are currently seeking to fill two more spots.
