Mission
Zhengate exists to give emerging apps, creators, creator‑management companies, and service providers a new path to growth — one built on partnership and shared revenue instead of outdated, high‑risk marketing channels.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 and teams who can champion them, creating a modern ecosystem where early‑stage companies and creator organizations 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firsthand how difficult it is for new digital products to find traction in a landscape dominated by expensive, outdated marketing channels.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 service provider, 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.
