Since 2010, the team at Lighter Capital has helped more than 550 startups grow and scale their businesses with our unique combination of non-dilutive capital, plus the premium benefits you usually only get from equity partners. We've made it really simple to apply and qualify for startup financing that's structured to enable sustainable growth, with reasonable terms that don't restrict your strategies or diminish your ownership value at exit. Of course, money alone won't get you to a successful exit — we go the extra mile to connect you with the right people, partners, events, and business solutions that can help you scale smarter and reach your next milestone sooner.
