over a decade as AI founders' first call

DEEPENING OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH ANTHROPIC

AI is different. Its potential to transform our lives is even more profound. As the past three years have shown, the pace and intensity of change have been almost relentless. Amid this whirlwind, Anthropic has stood out as a steady force. Their mission is simple yet powerful: to scale intelligence that is both trustworthy and safe. The team's execution against that vision has been exceptional, and it's why we're proud to deepen our partnership with Anthropic in their Series F.

Too often VC only scratches the surface. Continually consuming until there’s a basic understanding of everything, and expertise in nothing. Lightspeed takes a different approach.

Depth is our center of gravity. It’s how we build and maintain a mastery that enables unwavering conviction in the companies we back.

Our depth of commitment means rolling up our sleeves to earn our seat at the table. Depth of relationships means authenticity, transparency and trust. And depth of belief means navigating the peaks and valleys together, regardless of how the terrain unfolds.

Complete immersion is the heart of our philosophy on investing and we believe what separates us from speculators and opportunists. Creating together instead of funding from afar. Forging enduring companies with the power of one global team.

Because possibility grows the deeper you go.

SERVING BOLD BUILDERS OF THE FUTURE.

For over twenty years Lightspeed has been the first investor and an early backer of some of the most innovative companies in the world. In service of bold founders with big ideas, we stand behind our companies with high conviction from Seed to Series F and beyond.
