Nominate a hardworking provider or small business — or apply for yourself. Selected applicants receive six months of Sponsored PRO and practical profile guidance at no cost.
You can recognise a business you genuinely know, or speak for your own business. Self-application carries no disadvantage.
Tell us about a provider or small business you genuinely know, what they do, make, sell or supply, and why greater opportunity could make a meaningful difference. The nominee must know about the nomination and agree to being contacted.
Tell us honestly about your business, what you offer, the barrier you currently face and your willingness to build and maintain a strong Hustlefella profile.
Submit enough accurate information for an initial assessment.
Hustlefella considers the business, circumstances, suitability and available sponsorship capacity.
Shortlisted applicants may receive guidance before Sponsored PRO is activated.
Selected applicants receive six months of PRO at no cost. No paid subscription starts automatically.
Lift-Up is a sponsored route into Hustlefella PRO — not a separate pricing plan, cash grant or loan.
Places are limited. At the end of the sponsorship, Hustlefella may return the listing to GROWTH, extend sponsorship, offer another arrangement or invite the business to continue with paid PRO. Any paid subscription requires the business's agreement.
Lift-Up is intended for genuine providers and small businesses that could benefit meaningfully from PRO but currently face a real financial barrier to paying for it.
Applications are not automatically approved or simply handled first-come, first-served.
What the business does, makes, sells or supplies, and the evidence that it operates genuinely and responsibly.
Whether a real financial barrier exists and whether greater visibility and PRO capability could be useful.
Whether the applicant is willing to complete the profile, keep information accurate and make genuine use of the opportunity.
Tell us enough to understand the business, what it offers and why Lift-Up could be useful.
Yes. Self-applications are welcome and are not treated as less deserving than nominations from someone else.
A customer, friend, family member, colleague, employer, community member or another person who genuinely knows the business or provider. The nominee must know about the nomination and agree to being contacted.
No. Applications are reviewed individually and available places depend on Hustlefella's sponsorship capacity at the time.
No. Lift-Up provides PRO access, profile tools and greater opportunity to be discovered. It cannot guarantee views, enquiries, customers, sales, paid work or income.
No paid subscription starts automatically. Hustlefella may:
The business must actively agree before any paid subscription begins.
No. Financial circumstances remain private. Sponsored businesses are presented professionally and on the merit of what they offer.
Nominate a business whose effort deserves greater opportunity, or take the first step for yourself.
