They invest across consumer internet, enterprise software, fintech, and AI, and have a track record of backing founders who go on to build some of India's most recognisable companies. Lightspeed is known for taking early bets and staying with founders over multiple rounds, which makes them particularly relevant for founders who are thinking long-term about their cap table.
