Strategy

The investment experience of the Lighthouse team spans four decades of institutional private capital investment in Canada and the US. Our team’s expertise extends across traditional and innovation-driven industries and spans the private capital spectrum from venture capital, to private equity, to mezzanine investment.

Lighthouse was formed to focus our experience, capital, and network of resources on British Columbia based entrepreneurial businesses with exceptional growth potential.
Our direct private equity investments are funded with long-term capital commitments from the firm’s Managing Partners and a network of Investment Limited Partners who are among the most successful, self-made business people in Western Canada.

Our venture capital interests are focused on fund and growth stage co-investment opportunities.

Lighthouse brings capital, strategic insight acquired across numerous businesses, industries, and funds, and an extensive network of resources and relationships to every business we invest in. And every management team we partner with.

We are actively investing in BC businesses that are leading innovations across industries and across borders.
