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.
