Why Liftoff

Startups don't need analytics dashboards. They need decisions.

In the early innings, every signal matters. A trial sign-up, an abandoned cart, a feature drop-off — each is a moment that either turns into a paying customer or doesn't. Appice Liftoff puts the same real-time decisioning system used by regulated banks and telcos into the hands of founders, free, from day one.

Most startup tooling

  • Stitch together 6 vendors before you can send your first message
  • Free tiers that throttle you the moment you find product-market fit
  • Dashboards that show what happened, not what to do next
  • Re-platforming forced when you scale past the SMB tier

Appice Liftoff

  • One platform: signals, decisions, channels and learning — out of the box
  • Up to $50K in Appice credits, valid through your first 12 months
  • Real-time decisioning, not just analytics — act in the moment
  • Same architecture from MVP to enterprise — no rewrites at Series B
How Liftoff Works

From application to first live decision in three steps.

Liftoff is structured around speed. We compress the steps a regulated enterprise takes over a quarter 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

What's Included

Everything you need to ship your first decision.

Liftoff isn't a credit card with a price tag. It's the full Appice platform plus the people, templates and tooling to get you from zero to live.

Up to $50,000 in credits

Sized to your stage. Pre-seed startups get $10K, seed gets $25K, and Series A gets up to $50K — valid through your first 12 months on Appice.

Startup decision templates

Pre-built playbooks for trial-to-paid conversion, onboarding completion, churn save, feature adoption and reactivation — configured in hours, not months.

Direct Slack support

Shared Slack channel with our engineering and solutions team. No tickets. Median first response under two hours during business windows in your region.

Live onboarding workshops

Three working sessions with a named solutions architect across instrumentation, decisioning configuration, and launch readiness review.

Founder community

Quarterly virtual roundtables with other Liftoff founders. Compare what's working, what isn't, and meet investors and operators in the Appice network.

Graduation path

When you outgrow Liftoff, your tenant, signals, decisions, and history move with you to a Growth or Enterprise plan. No re-implementation. No data export-import.

Who Can Apply

Eligibility — clear and short.

Liftoff is built for early-stage teams with a real product. We keep the bar specific 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

Looking at incorporation date, not founding date. Pivots, rebrands and re-incorporations are evaluated on a case-by-case basis — just tell us in the application.

Product

Live product or working private beta

What that means

You have something users are interacting with — a mobile app, web product, API. Liftoff is for teams ready to act on signals, not idea-stage decks.

Use case

Customer engagement & growth

What that means

Acquisition, activation, retention, monetisation. Consumer apps, B2B SaaS, fintech, healthtech, edtech, marketplace — if customers are part of the loop, you fit.

What Founders See

Numbers from the first wave of Liftoff teams. Specific results depend on product, market and baseline — we'll define your measurement plan with you.

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.
