About RaiseIt

We Fund Human Potential

Born from a simple belief: brilliant ideas shouldn't be left behind because of how they're funded. We're the platform where creators, backers, and communities turn vision into reality.

From Garage to Global Platform

Founded in 2019 by a small group of creators, developers, and funding enthusiasts, RaiseIt started as a response to a broken system. Traditional funding gates were too high, too slow, and too exclusive.

We built a platform that puts creators first. No complex financial jargon. No institutional gatekeepers. Just transparent, community-powered funding that moves as fast as innovation does.

Today, we operate in 190+ countries, have facilitated over $2.4 billion in funding, and helped launch more than 180,000 projects across every creative and entrepreneurial category imaginable.
