LightShed Ventures

LightShed Ventures is an early-stage venture capital firm that invests in private companies within the technology, media, telecommunications, and consumer sectors. The firm was co-founded by General Partners Richard Greenfield, Walter Piecyk, Brandon Ross, and Jamie Roberts Seltzer. They launched LightShed Partners in 2019, which has quickly become a leading TMT research firm for institutional investors. Seltzer brings a decade of private investment and entrepreneurial experience to the firm.

The firm focuses on investing in opportunities created by technological disruption. Their platform comprises three units: Research, Media, and Ventures, which complement and feed into one another. Their industry-leading research has led to a vast network of C-suite and operating executives from industry giants to early-stage startups. They leverage this network to unlock access at the highest level for their startups to achieve their business objectives.

LightShed Ventures has already completed four investments prior to its first close, including Podchaser, Slipstream, Antenna Analytics, and an unannounced investment in the creator space. Their unique approach combines thought-leading TMT research and media platform with an early-stage venture capital fund, providing unparalleled access in the TMT industry.
