Who We Are

welcome to rise market. 🌈

At Rise we help introduce customers who care to LGBTQIA2+ small businesses, entrepreneurs, and creators who will help them thrive.

Unlike other marketplaces, we prioritize inclusivity and accessibility in all that we do. From the design of our website and user experience to the brands allowed on Rise - we put LGBTQIA2+ communities first.

✨ Rise celebrates LGBTQIA2+ creators and entrepreneurs

🔥 We value Equity.

Committing to equitable practices is not only better for our communities - it's better for business.

🔥 We value Community.

Shopping online should be more than a transactional experience - it should build community and relationships, just like shopping in-person.

🔥 We value Innovation.

Whether a business is big or little, we all deserve the opportunity to grow, experiment and challenge the status quo.

queer-trans artists and innovators are the cultural foundation of our communities and often the most economically marginalized.

Rise Market is dedicated to seeking queer liberation and celebrating the LGBTQIA2+ community. But none of us are free without Justice for Black Lives - and we must fight equally as hard for racial equity and justice for all Black people, people of color, and especially Black Trans Women.
