Chicago – LuxyList.it, a popular gift registry service for fans and the content creators who love them, is taking a bold step forward with the August 25th launch of a new StartEngine campaign aimed at securing investment to fuel the next phase of the company’s growth.
This initiative presents a unique opportunity for investors to be part of a transformative gifting platform that is redefining the joy of gift-giving by deepening the emotional connection between fans and their favorite online entertainers.
“As a Black woman leading a Black-owned, woman-led business, I am passionate about fostering cultural and gender diversity in the tech industry – a sector that has historically lacked representation,” says Evans.
“LuxyList is more than just a platform; it’s a testament to our belief in empowering creators and fans to build deeper connections through the joy of gifting. We’re committed to maintaining the highest standards of privacy and security while creating a space where everyone feels valued. Our StartEngine campaign is a pivotal moment for us. It’s an opportunity to share ownership with the very community that has helped us grow and to invest in a future where gifting is not just a transaction, but a meaningful experience.
LuxyList, positioning itself as the go-to platform for fostering meaningful fan-creator interactions, has processed more than $2 million in gifts over the past two years amid a thriving community of 9,000 creators and fans, and Evans adds, “has already proven its value in the market.”
The StartEngine campaign is designed “to further expand our reach, help develop more intuitive features such as AI-powered personalized gifting features, and better integrate seamlessly with popular social media platforms, ensuring that LuxyList remains at the forefront of fan gifting innovation.”
Investors and fans alike are invited to join LuxyList in this exciting venture, and help unlock the full potential of personalized, secure and truly expressive gift giving.
