Lucha announces ‘LIFT’: The academy for impact founders

At LUCHA, we know that transformative talent abounds in Latin America, but opportunities to scale impact ventures remain limited. That’s why LIFT (Lucha Impact Founder Training) was born: a program for impact founders who want to solve social and environmental problems through innovation.

What is LIFT?

LIFT is a strategic and emotional training space for early-stage impact entrepreneurs. It combines technical learning, high-level mentorship, and an active community of founders and allies. Its goal: this program for impact founders is designed for those seeking tools, community, and visibility without sacrificing their transformative purpose.

How does it work?

The program has a hybrid format, with a 100% virtual base on the platform lift.luchala.org, and occasional live events. Over the course of 12 weeks, participants have access to:

• E-learning modules with applied content.
• Collaborative workshops and feedback sessions.
• Masterclasses with leaders from the impact ecosystem.
• Founder tribes: intentional groups to cultivate trust, mutual learning, and collaboration.
• Network of contacts that connects participants with investors, accelerators, and other strategic allies.

What makes it unique?

LIFT doesn’t just teach business and impact. Its differentiator lies in its holistic approach: training founders who are aware of their role, capable of leading with resilience, and scaling without losing purpose. Here, personal growth is as important as scaling the startup.

Additionally, LIFT is directly connected to LUCHA’s portfolio, allowing the most outstanding profiles to access new opportunities after the program.

Why is it key at this moment?

Because many of the solutions Latin America needs already exist but remain invisible or lack access to resources. LIFT helps unlock that potential by democratizing access to quality training, support networks, and strategic visibility.
