Studio

The heart of Lift Ventures is our startup studio. We leverage a proprietary incubation and scaling process we call LVOS - the Lift Ventures Operating System.

Our current focus is on building businesses that educate and inspire millions of consumers each month. We fund the development of these businesses in-house, leveraging our own capital.

Investments

Although the majority of our team’s time is invested in a concentrated manner in growing our Studio companies, we also are active investors and participants in the broader VC/startup ecosystem via various private investment vehicles led by Lift Ventures’ founder, Steve Meyer.

We often invest via SPVs or secondary deals, but also directly. We are data-driven investors who leverage a proprietary sourcing and screening process that allows us to evaluate hundreds of top-tier investment opportunities each month without employing a large investment team.

Over the past 5+ years, we have invested in 50+ high-growth companies and investment funds.
