𧔠Inside the Lisk EMpower Fund
Weâre rethinking how capital meets high-growth marketsâsourced through local incubators, shaped by on-the-ground context, and built shoulder-to-shoulder with founders solving daily problems.
Hereâs what sets it apart đ
Builder momentum is real across Africa, SEA, and LatAmâbut funding lags. <5% of global VC reaches these regions, so traction outpaces capital.
That gap slows the best teams.
Why the miss? Money goes where paperwork feels familiarânot where onchain use is everyday life. The result: a âcapital gapâ in the very markets adopting fastest.
Our take: fix the model, not the founders. We built a local-first pipeline + staged capital + hands-on prepâso strong teams become investor-ready and scale globally.
How the pipeline works: Incubators + in-market partners feed pre-vetted deal flow long before it hits traditional VC. We meet founders early, in context.
Simple, staged funding: Incubation â $250K seed â up to $500K follow-on â Series A readiness.
Clear gates, real milestones, no guesswork.
Beyond the check: We work side-by-side on investor-grade models & data rooms, governance, product metrics, and fundraising strategyâso traction translates to global capital.
Onchain by design: A part of the Lisk EMpower Fund runs onchain which allows for transparent records, easy digital onboarding, andâwhere supportedâthe option to resell tokenized interests.
Less paperwork, more clarity.
