Why Liftoff

Don't ship dashboards. Ship decisions.

Every trial sign-up and abandoned cart is a moment that turns into a paying customer — or doesn’t. Liftoff gives founders the same decisioning system banks and telcos run on, free.

Most startup tooling

Appice Liftoff

Six vendors before you can send anything.
Stitch a CDP, scheduler, channel SDKs, analytics and a homegrown ML pipeline together — months of integration before your first message.
One platform — signals, decisions, channels, learning.
The same architecture used by Tier-1 banks and telcos — day-one ready. No stitching, no homegrown plumbing.
Free tiers throttle the moment you scale.
The free tier becomes a paywall the moment you find product-market fit. Re-architect or pay 5× for the same volume.
Up to $50K in credits, 12 months of runway.
Free to start. Generous credits cover scale-up — no throttle the moment you find PMF.
Dashboards describe yesterday.
Your tools show what happened, not what to do next. Decisions happen in a side channel — spreadsheets, Slack threads, hunches.
Real-time decisions, not just analytics.
Acts on every signal in milliseconds. Decisions live in the system — not in a side channel.
Re-platform forced when you grow up.
SMB tools assume no regulators, no compliance, no residency. Re-platforming at Series B is a tax on your own success.
Same architecture from MVP to enterprise.
Compliant, on-prem-ready, residency-aware from day one. No re-platforming at Series B.
How Liftoff Works

Application to first live decision — three steps.

A quarter of enterprise rollout, compressed into a sprint a founding team can run in weeks.

Week 1

Step 1: Apply

5-minute form

  • Tell us about your startup — stage, product, customers
  • We respond within 48 hours with an eligibility decision
  • Sign a lightweight programme agreement — no procurement cycle
  • Credits land in your Appice tenant on day one
Weeks 2–4

Step 2: Onboard

Hands-on setup

  • Connect product events — mobile SDK, web, server-side
  • Pick from a library of startup decision templates — trial-to-paid, churn save, NBO
  • Live workshops with an Appice solutions architect
  • Slack channel with engineering for direct questions
Weeks 5–6

Step 3: Launch

First decision live

  • Real signals, real users, real-time response
  • Allyvate AI optimises decisions using outcome feedback
  • Measure conversion lift against baseline within the dashboard
  • Add channels and use cases as you grow — same tenant, same code

Liftoff timeline

From application to first live decision in 6 weeks — or we extend credits, not the deadline.

What's Included

Everything you need to ship your first decision.

Not a credit-card line item. The full Appice platform plus the people, templates and tooling to take you from zero to live.

Up to $50,000 in credits

Sized to your stage. Pre-seed $10K, seed $25K, Series A up to $50K — valid for 12 months.

Startup decision templates

Pre-built playbooks for trial-to-paid, onboarding, churn save and reactivation — configured in hours.

Direct Slack support

Shared Slack with engineering and solutions — no tickets, median first response under two hours.

Live onboarding workshops

Three working sessions with a named solutions architect — instrumentation, configuration, launch review.

Founder community

Quarterly roundtables with Liftoff founders, investors and operators in the Appice network.

Graduation path

Outgrow Liftoff and your tenant, signals and history move with you — no re-implementation, no migration.

Who Can Apply

Eligibility — clear and short.

Built for early-stage teams with a real product — a specific bar so we can say yes fast.

Stage

Pre-seed, Seed or Series A

What that means

Up to and including a priced Series A round. If you've raised a Series B or beyond, talk to us about Growth pricing instead.

Funding

Up to US $5M total raised

What that means

Bootstrapped, angel-backed and institutionally funded teams all qualify. Grants, accelerator stipends and SAFEs count toward the cap.

Age

Incorporated within the last 5 years

What that means

Incorporation date, not founding date. Pivots and re-incorporations evaluated case-by-case.

Product

Live product or working private beta

What that means

Real users on a mobile app, web product or API. Liftoff is for teams ready to act on signals.

Use case

Customer engagement & growth

What that means

Acquisition, activation, retention, monetisation — if customers are part of the loop, you fit.

Frequently Asked

Questions founders ask before applying.

What happens when I run out of credits? +

Nothing surprises you. We notify you at 70% and 90% utilisation. You can either top up at startup-friendly rates or graduate to a Growth plan with no migration. Your tenant, decisions and history all stay put.

Do I get the full Appice platform or a stripped-down version? +

The full platform — Sense, Decide, Act, Learn and Allyvate AI. The same architecture our Banking and Telco customers run on. Limits are on volume (events, decisions, MAUs) not on capability.

Can I bring my existing accelerator or VC partner credits? +

Yes. Liftoff stacks on top of accelerator and VC platform credit programmes. Mention your accelerator or fund in the application — if we have a partnership in place we'll credit you on top.

How long does the application process take? +

The form takes about 5 minutes. We aim for a yes/no within 48 hours of submission, and the agreement is a 1-page programme document — not a procurement contract. Credits land in your tenant on signature day.

My startup is in a regulated industry. Can I still apply? +

Absolutely — in fact, that's a perfect fit. Appice is built for regulated industries from day one. Fintech, neobanks, insurtech, healthtech and digital health teams get the same compliance and audit features as enterprise customers.
