Lightspeed Venture Partners

Lightspeed Venture Partners is a multi-stage global venture capital firm that has been the first investor and early backer of some of the world's most innovative companies for over twenty years. The firm invests with high conviction from Seed to Series F and beyond, serving bold founders with big ideas across enterprise, consumer, fintech, healthtech, and deep tech. Lightspeed's philosophy centers on depth — depth of commitment (rolling up sleeves to earn a seat at the table), depth of relationships (authenticity, transparency, and trust), and depth of belief (navigating peaks and valleys together). As the firm states: 'Complete immersion is the heart of our philosophy on investing… Creating together instead of funding from afar. Forging enduring companies with the power of one global team.' With over $25 billion in AUM and offices across the US, Europe, Israel, India, and Southeast Asia, Lightspeed pursues opportunities based on their merits regardless of where the founder resides, backing category-defining companies at the frontier of AI, software, and beyond.
