Longtime Wall Street analyst Richard Greenfield and principals at boutique research firm LightShed Partners have launched an early stage venture fund in the tech, media, telecom and consumer space.
LightShed Ventures announced its first fund today, $75 million focused on Seed and A rounds aimed at finding the next “category defining companies in TMT.” The team includes LightShed analysts Greenfield, Walter Piecyk and Brandon Ross as well as Jamie Seltzer, who joined LightShed Ventures in September from Waverly Capital, the investment firm co-founded by Edgar Bronfman, Jr.
LightShed Ventures portfolio currently includes investments in Antenna, Podchaser and Slipstream.
Greenfield, Piecyk and Ross have worked together for more than 15 years as research analysts, previously at BTIG. They launched LightShed Partners in 2019. Seltzer brings a decade of private investment and entrepreneurial experience to the firm.
“LightShed Partners will serve as the foundation for what we do at LightShed Ventures. Our unique, thematic research remains our life blood. The principles behind our research will underpin our investments. But the research itself is just the start of our flywheel,” Greenfield said.
