Value proposition
Lightship Capital invests in the people and places that have been ignored by venture capitalists based in NYC and SF.
Lightship Capital drives innovation and investment in areas not served by venture capitalists in New York or Silicon Valley.
Our fund is modeled to offer remarkable founders an alternative to traditional firms— enabling them to avoid the challenges associated with traditional funding.
We join or lead rounds, we don’t require board seats to invest, and if/when we are invited to serve on the board— we strongly support the founder.
Lightship Capital | Investing in Remarkable Founders
By seeking entrepreneurs who innovate in US regions leveraging modest resources to produce outsized returns, Lightship finds and develops remarkable talent while catalyzing emerging ecosystems.
