This heart-pounding psychological thriller follows a founder who must rescue her company from the brink of bankruptcy – and solve the mystery behind the untimely death of her best friend.
Your mentor and CEO just fell 25 feet to her death at Burning Man. Now it’s your job to raise 75 million dollars—or bury the company you built together.
Alexis Ecker never wanted the spotlight. But after the sudden, suspicious death of her best friend and business partner Darcy Lyons, the 29-year-old finds herself alone at the helm of their billion-dollar fashion-tech startup—and under ruthless pressure to deliver a massive new round of venture capital funding.
Grieving and unprepared, Alexis is forced to perform her most convincing pitch yet: that everything is fine! That the company is thriving! That she didn’t lose the only person who ever truly believed in her! But when whispers of betrayal begin to swirl—and Alexis starts unraveling the secrets Darcy took to her grave—she finds herself caught between a powerful investor with his own agenda and the mounting realization that Darcy’s death wasn’t an “accident” after all.
Taut, darkly funny, and emotionally charged, "The Raise" is a compulsively readable exploration of female ambition, codependent friendships, and the price of loyalty in a world where image is everything and women are always being watched.”
