Mission
Zhengate exists to give emerging apps, creators, and practitioners a new path to growth — one built on partnership and shared revenue instead of outdated, high‑risk marketing channels. We’re here to bridge the gap between digital products and the people who can champion them, creating a modern ecosystem where early‑stage teams can scale with support, not struggle alone.
Founders
Michael Liskow - Founder & CEO
Michael brings a rare blend of full‑stack engineering, product intuition, and nearly two decades of experience building financial and enterprise systems. His background spans payroll, accounting, and fintech infrastructure — including architecting an entire accounts platform — giving him a deep understanding of how to design reliable, compliant, multi‑tenant software.
After building SEE Within, a guided wellness and personal‑growth app he developed from the ground up, Michael experienced firsthand how difficult it is for new digital products to find traction in a landscape dominated by expensive, outdated marketing channels. That gap — the lack of modern, partnership‑driven growth paths — became the spark for Zhengate.
Michael leads the platform’s architecture, engineering, and creator‑facing product strategy, shaping a system designed to help emerging apps scale with support instead of struggle.
Dr. Ming Way — Cofounder & Digital Product Leader
Ming Way is a cofounder of Zhengate and the founder of SEE Within, whose early creator and monetization needs helped shape the platform’s direction.
She brings the perspective of both a founder and practitioner, helping Zhengate better understand creator needs, partner experience, product positioning, and the role of trust in building sustainable audience relationships.
During the pilot, Ming Way serves as a strategic advisor and creator-side voice, helping refine how Zhengate supports creators as they grow and monetize their work.
Pilot Program
Zhengate is currently in a limited, invitation‑only pilot designed to onboard partners whose work aligns with the digital products available today. In this phase, we’re focusing on creators and influencers whose audiences are a natural fit for the experiences on the platform. As the pilot expands, we’ll be welcoming apps across additional verticals, digital products, and practitioner/experts into the ecosystem. Submitting your information now helps our team understand your work early, and ensures you’re considered as new partnership opportunities open.
